This is completely wrong and really undermines your credibility regarding rules matters.

The rules have always stated that a target must be TRIGGERED to score with the appropriate definition in the Introduction section. FIRST has further clarified through Team Updates how the sensor system works. There are a number of reasons why a minibot may not trigger a tower, bu the Refs made the right call according to the rules and are not allowed to review video evidence.

During end game of match 3 there was a blue robot sitting against the red pole for the entire duration, in an attempt to block it. This should have been a redcard. And, again, there were many recordings.

I have been told that the ref closest to that tower was paying careful attention to 3278 and determined they were not touching the tower.

They should have at least replayed the match, rather than just giving the win when there was so much discrepancy. Or send the red alliance to nationals too. I don't know, but there had to have been a better solution and that's why everyone is frustrated. And I also know that team 2512 lost communication halfway through match 2 and was not able to regain it.

There are no grounds in the rules to replay that match unless a field fault could be identified. There are a whole ton of reasons a robot may lose connection to the field that don't involve a field fault.
