Re: North Star Regional...

The piece you're referring to is never zip tied to the field - the hooks are used to hang it over the entrance to the field, allowing it to be quickly and easily moved to load teams and robot on/off the field.

Regardless, it was the head ref's call and not something worth arguing about after the fact. Per section 5.5.3:
Quote:
The Head Referee has the ultimate authority in the ARENA during the event, but may receive input from additional sources, e.g. Game Designers, FIRST personnel, and technical staff. The Head Referee rulings are final.
For those not present at the event, you can see the piece come off here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBnr...Zp85I9lC#t=117
