The sudden disable isn't an isolated incident in Dallas. This happened numerous times at North Star Regional last year and significantly affected the rankings and eliminations. It's incredibly frustrating and disheartening to see a team's elimination and qualification matches ruined based on a draconian interpretation of a highly ambiguous rule, particularly without any sort of notification or warning. I can understand wanting to speed matches along, but when the fix is as simple as releasing a solenoid or removing a game-piece, it's getting a bit too ridiculous.
