If your team has a The Blue Alliance API access token (See https://www.thebluealliance.com/apidocs), the web page will pull team and schedule information from The Blue Alliance. Put your access token in the authKey variable in resources/js/TBAInterface.js and when the web page is loaded, it will load the data (for the event code in the Event field). This enables some features on the PreMatch Screen. With the team information, the team name will populate just below the Team # field when the team # field is filled in. If the schedule information is available when the web page is loaded, then when the match and robot fields are populated, it will automatically populate the team number and team name for the scouter. This reduces typo errors when entering the team numbers manually. (Schedules are usually published before the event a day or two before matches start. However, it may be delayed for various reasons and may only be published hours or minutes before the start of a competition.)
