EDIT: Looks like the dead ball was handled by the book. When I consulted my manual on this, I didn't realise it was from before an update that clarifies this situation.


The double inbound was an obvious mistake, but seemed to be handled about as well as it could have been once both balls were in play. All the lights were turned off until one ball was removed, and based on the score, it appears this first ball wasn't counted as scored. It ended up hurting the red alliance because they had to waste their time removing a ball.

I'm not too torn up about this whole situation, simply because it wasn't the reason we lost. Referee errors or not, the other alliance deserved to win the match and the series.
