Chief Delphi - Lowest Finals Scores

I found the match results on the FIRST web site, and it too shows a nonzero score for SF2. However, it shows the three teams on Alliance 8 as *disqualified*, verifying that as the red card match. So apparently the official score stands, while the teams involved don't get to count it.

Whoops... memory failed me again.

SF-2 was officially scored as a 0 for the match. The 106 points scored were completely erased at the event, as per the 2015 rules.
However, since the 0 was a result of the red card, it does not qualify for this thread. It has indeed been christened the "Phyxt-Red-Card" incident in honor of the alliance teams.
Personally, this was the source of both my heart breaking when it happened, then swelling at the teams' response.

The affected teams petitioned FRC HQ to review the incident, and HQ graciously allowed the three alliance members ten district points. These points allowed 1741 to qualify for the World Championship event, where they were quarterfinalists on Newton.

IIRC red cards have shown as 0 in the past. Actually, this year, in FMS, things seemed different, as the 0 was only showing up as a drop in average score (unless my memory is backwards again, after scorekeeping 5 official events and one offseason so far it kinda turns to mush). That said, cards in playoffs were for a few weeks at least problematic, as due to a bug they wouldn't carry correctly. So yes, the score of 0 is bad reporting, at least technically.

edit- I do not recall manaully zeroing the score. I do recall seing the score not zero, and being told by the FTAs to look at the averages, which being the alliance's first match of the semifinals (hence why I for some reason remembered it being SF1, DOH!), zeroed out the average score on the leaderboard.

Being "after the fact" I think I can also safely share this; due to a brain fart behind the scoring table no formal timeout was ever entered in FMS during the timeout in question; Nobody told me to and I wasn't aware that the period was to be entered as such in FMS (as in the past, the similar "breaks" between back to back matches were not done through FMS, unlike couponed timeouts). Given the number of changes this year I guess that particular one slipped between the cracks. So, in a way, I guess I'm partly to blame, sorta? Week 1's are full of growing pains... If it is any consolation, that goof never happened again when I was scorekeeping.

I was scorekeeping that field too... but not that match; that match was scorekept by Hopper's other scorekeeper, Rob, as he did all the playoff matches that didn't have his team, 1676, in it.

Am I a red card magnet this year?... Nah. IRI IIRC had no red cards, so much for that theory...
