Re: Week 3 analysis

Going into our first district event this past weekend, I was surprised at how few G40 fouls were called given all the controversy surrounding that particular rule. The refs at Mt. Vernon were focused on robot-robot interaction...perhaps a bit too much (I saw a few instances of what I thought were clear G40 violations that were not called because the refs were not watching), though I can't say I disapprove, as at no point did it seem to be a safety issue.

I guess the main takeaway is that refs still have too much to watch for given the game-changing nature of technical fouls.
