Interesting, the 1st match of today was penalty free. I thought you got a penalty for descoring a tetra from the opposing alliance and they also owned the goal for the rest of the match. I didn't see the blue alliance get a penalty for knocking off the red tetras on that center goal.

Re: Midwest Regional Webcast.
 

No penalties. All the scored tetras counting and the other team permanently owning the goal is penalty enough.

I am tuned in once again, this a good competition to watch

1. 71, 111, 537
2. 269, 45, 706
3. 383, 903, 65

5. 9, 74, 1525
6. 1646, 108, 525

8. 877, 1675, 1240

Way to go 1646!

Can't wait to see alliance 1 v 2

I think I'd send 706 after 71 and 111, then send 45 to cap opponent rows and center field goal. Let 269 work the home and mid sides.

1 is going to be tough to beat, but I think if 269 and 45 are productive towards the end of the match they can win it. But they need to shut down 71. 45 needs to keep 111 away from the center after they cap it late and last.

I predict 71 will cap deep on alliance 2 and break up their home row.

71 and 111 cap at the same rate as 269 and 45. But 537 caps faster than 706 so I can't see them flat out-capping them.

But if I were 1 alliance I'd send 71 deep and leave 11 and 537 on the home 6.

Baker broke the arena controls! :ahh:

Re: Midwest Regional Webcast.
 

What exactly happened?

Re: Midwest Regional Webcast.
 

102 to 15, that was an awesome match

Re: Midwest Regional Webcast.
 

Correct me if Im wrong..

As far as I could see from the Webcast, the red side of the field went dead when 45's alliance was up to play. IFI then changed out the arena control boards on the red side and got it all set to work again. This took forever.

Re: Midwest Regional Webcast.
 

Wow, all 3 robots disabled on the red alliance yet they still win! :ahh:

Re: Midwest Regional Webcast.
 

whoa, 10 caps on the middle side goal.. Somebody tell em to spread it out :yikes:

Re: Midwest Regional Webcast.
 

Oh lord. And here I thought the tetras stacked inside each other was just a hypothetical situation. Apparently it could very well decide this match.

EDIT:
Who owns this goal?

That was the kind of situation for those not watching. They apparently both counted and the higher tetra owned the goal.

Re: Midwest Regional Webcast.
 

Talk about your upsets!
I don't know bout everyone else but I'm seeing defense win the day!
Good job Krunch!

Re: Midwest Regional Webcast.
 

That was awesome. 79 is good now that they can control their swerve drive better. That is an awesome upset.....

Re: Midwest Regional Webcast.
 

Okay, that was some inspired defense by 79 in the last match against 71. Also a brilliant play by one blue team to snag the tetras held by 71 at the last second.
