Re: Missed auto ball scoring errors

We knew that referee scoring was sometimes off during Week 1, so we designated people in the stands to do match verification during our matches. We noticed that autonomous balls on our alliance finally going to the goals during teleop (during "cycle zero" as it's called) were getting 15 points attributed to them, and so we sent representatives to talk to the Head Referee twice about it. By our 6th match this stopped happening, and did not happen all day on Saturday.

I thought this might be a scoring problem in the scorekeeping software, and asked Matt (at FIRST) if he'd gotten the reports of the incorrect values and he said he had gotten no such reports. That clued me into the fact that it was a referee issue and not a scorekeeping issue.
