Focusing on this part because this is solely a laptop issue. Once the controller is moved to another port and rescanned, before leaving the USB tab in the DS, press a button on each controller to make sure they are where they are supposed to be. If they were location locked before, at least one is very likely in the wrong place now and can cause some very interesting unintended operation. We had one multiple offender of this same thing at Arizona West that turned out to be the power saving on the USB ports...why I asked to check that item specifically. The team was pretty much ready to go with the laptop well before plugging into the ethernet cable and it turned out that the USB ports were just shutting off because the timer was expiring since no keys were touched on the keyboard. Activity on the joysticks didn't reset the timer.

Just watched match 103 which 329 was in and didn't see anything out of the ordinary other than the dance in auto, which I'm assuming is intentional.
