Re: Curie Division Qualification Match 20
(the following is solely my personal opinions and observations, nothing less, nothing more)

I've seen it happen to the gate I was attending (as field reset). Personnally, the fix is simple: replace the velcro on the gates!

Yes. From the fields I've seen over the years, the velcro always seems to be very worn out and has virtually no tack. Even on a newly refurb'd field (Crossroads 2014) the velcro was pretty much shot. Or I at least remember it being that way.

I'd think they'd replace the velcro strips every year during refurbishment and conversion (to the new game's standards)... but I guess that doesn't happen.
