Re: It could happen to you (but we hope not)

For those not willing or wanting to read my idiotic book above...The nuts and bolts as I see it to the actual "replay call" only. Response to the OP.

IMHO...HQ was correct on the call during the phone call.

A replay should have been called; T16 ".... errors by Field Personnel" (sadly to say, but it will continue to be the nature of this game, as that has occurred in many, many of the matches I have seen), and was necessary in this case due both to, the Ref not making a good call on the stuck Blue Ball in a Red Bot (on his own volition immediately, & as per the rule), and also for the Ref not lighting up of the Red pedestal (if it were actually the Ref's fault...very debatable from what I have seen so far and I have seen many, many matches w/ avail. rewind capabilities and use them often), at the conclusion of the completed cycle...And a possible yellow card violation of T13 (though there is no penalty specifically and actually listed for any violation of T13), or a called G6 Penalty:Robot Disable, for each NON-Pre-College age Student present, for significant delay of match (at the very least), should have been shown to each & every "MENTOR" that showed their face anywhere near that after match question box, without being called over personally by the Head Ref. (Sry MENTORS, or shall I say NON-Pre-College Age Students involved, but Rule T13 is plain & simple.

T13

If a TEAM needs clarification on a ruling or score, one (1) pre-college student from that TEAM should address the Head Referee after the ARENA reset signal (i.e. PLAYER STATION LED strings turn green). A TEAM member signals their desire to speak with the Head Referee by standing in a Red or Blue Question Box, which are located on the floor near each end of the scoring table. Depending on timing, the Head Referee may postpone any requested discussion until the end of the subsequent MATCH.

*Notice no actual penalty for violation there of the T13 questioning process actually exists? It may elsewhere, but, I have not found it.

Just glad it was only a replay ordered in this instance.

Gracious Professionalism seems to being showed all around, given the circumstances. Keep that up please.
