Re: Should teams be allowed to decline a replay?

How about designing a game that doesn't rely so heavily on the split-second decisions of volunteers, who are human and make mistakes?

A counterargument is that even if you think a field fault didn't affect the outcome of the match, it did. If you didn't get your next cycle in time, you make a decision to play more aggressive defense, which could affect the "losing" team's score.

I think that it's interesting that this is apparently the first game in FIRST history with field faults. Heavens to murgatroyd.
