Blockading
I noticed at Waterloo, especially on Saturday, the head ref was being particularly quick to pull the trigger on the "Blockading" techfoul for any 2v1 defense that was being played against teams like 1114, 2056, 610 and 1310.

I wasn't there for the driver's meeting to hear his explanation of how he was going to call this, but this seemed VERY different to how head ref Ian Mckenzie called GTR East.

At GTR East, teams were told that Blockading would only be called if multiple ALLIANCE ROBOTS were stopping the flow of the MATCH, (ie. 2 robots sitting adjacent to the PYRAMID, attempting to stop robots from passing) NOT if multiple ROBOTS were stopping the flow of a single ROBOT.
