At Mt. Olive district, three robots got entangled during an elims match (semi?), and were disabled 'due to safety hazard'. Basically, prevent the teams from doing more damage to either robot, volunteers around the field, or field elements by continuing to flop around while entangled. As a note, that match was also replayed since it was paused-and-restarted during the entanglement issue.
Best guess is that's also why it happened at IRI. However, it happened insanely late in the match after the entanglement started, and the teams were allowed to move around and try to get un-stuck for at least 15 seconds.
