So blue's pedestal lit far more quickly on average? Interesting....
I consider 8 seconds to be a ridiculously excessive amount of delay waiting for all human and computerized decision makers to verify that yes, indeed, the big colored ball went into one of the big colored goals. Many people are reporting 10 seconds or more of delay? Is ball scored? Yes? It takes 1 second or so to make this realization? Then turn the $@#$@#$@#$@# pedestal on. Whether ref or FMS caused, FIX THE PROBLEM.
The fun part is red's pedestal lit three seconds after the already 8 second delay had occurred just prior to the last red hp pickup, so the total delay was 11 seconds. The coach of the hp just said screw it and told him to pick it up. ZOMG SHOULD HAVE BEEN TECH FOULED FOR THEIR EGREGIOUS IGNORING OF THE BROKEN SYSTEM THAT TAKES 20,000 YEARS TO REGISTER A SCORE.
FIX. THE. PROBLEM.
Here's a thought - the pedestal light be damned. Station a single volunteer at each pedestal whose sole responsibility is to watch for alliance scores and yell GO when it's ok to pick up the ball. Does that cost too much in free t-shirts and meals to employ?
