Did the tower not trigger at all or was it disabled by the referee? The field crew tested the towers multiple times each day, directly after matches in which the tower did not trigger, and before scores for the match were displayed. The emcee even announced the tower tests to the audience a few times.
This is more than likely the same problem as other regionals where the tiny minibot contacts the bolt, but not the lexan, and therefore doesn't trigger the tower.
