IMPORTANT: FinishLynx integration is significantly different in v1.0.81.  If you have previously created FinishLynx scoreboards, go through the first part of this document to update your settings.  You no longer need to make changes to your hidden settings. If this is your first time creating scoreboards, skip to the new installation setup.
