All refs have the ability to assign fouls.

One set of refs looks for crossing the truss/field during auton. The other set of refs is looking for balls placed on the field (pre-game) and then when and where they are scored and HOT or not.

During the match the refs are assigned an alliance to SCORE. They click on the robot #### in the blue box if that team POSSESSED the ball in the blue zone, etc. They then can click the TRUSS and/or CATCH buttons for the given alliance and indicate, by pressing HIGH GOAL or LOW GOAL buttons, when the ball is scored. Then an END CYCLE button appears. I assume this is when the pedestal is lit?

I have not reffed at an event yet, but this is from the ref training manual on the touch screen system. It seems easy enough to understand and follow.
Does the manual explain the need for an "end cycle" button after the ref inputs that the ball has been scored? Seems repetitive to me.
