Years ago, someone put together a set of generic scoreboards that are always used in every Olympic sport. That person was a big fan of minimalism -- they tried to figure out what was the smallest amount of information the viewer needs, and then how could that info fit into the smallest possible space.<br /><br />So, for example, you don't get the names of the tennis players, nor do you get the scores of prior sets. All you get are the national flags, how many sets each player has won, how many games each player has won in this set, and how many points each player has in this game. That's it.<br /><br />I don't like this. I want to see the players' names, and I really want to know the scores of the prior sets.GoHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122010542579322600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-84455584862444847652016-08-09T17:52:52.374-04:002016-08-09T17:52:52.374-04:00The Guardian reports that "the sevens" h...The Guardian reports that "the sevens" have been "the hit of these games."
