why are LIVE scoring systems so BAD?

For me SmartScoring has been the worst way to follow LIVE scores at a Gymnastics competition.

And it seems to fail. Regularly.

Some people like LiveMeet, which is what we use in Canada. Personally I find the interface unappealing and slow. It’s like a webpage from the 1990s.

Longines is pretty. But I’m often confused with the layout.

Rachael points out that the system used for the PanAm Championships is quite good. A very clear and intuitive interface than anyone can use instantly. And it includes a lot of data.
