    Heat Lamp Display Updates:

    The online ring race displays now use the same light patterns as real-world heat lamps. However, the Flyball Manager ring side display hasn't been updated yet and still shows the original patterns.

    Temporary Solution for Ring Side Displays:

    1. Open a web browser on your scoring machine
    2. Navigate to the tournament screen
    3. Click the "🏁 Race" button in the lower right of the OnDeck panel
    4. Display this online ring race display for improved heat lamp patterns

    This provides a consistent heat lamp experience until the Flyball Manager display is updated.
