I'm assuming that you are basing this on FIRST's match listings. I'm assuming this because a) team 358 wasn't competing at UTC and b) you say looks like, instead of did or another more confident verb.
If you look at more of the standings on FIRST's site, you will notice that nobody switched in QF4, or either semifinal matches, either.
Furthermore, if you look at the NH regional match results, which team 358 did attend, you will notice that nobody switched in the finals, QF2, or either semi-finals match. Since you participated in the second semi-finals match, and didn't switch according to FIRSTs website, did you break the rule too?
The reason that I point that all out is because there is a pattern of FIRST's standings showing teams not switching. It occurs at every single regional. I beleive that there is a bug in FIRST's scoring software that does not upload the right teams all the time. It's possible that human error is involved too. But, I am sure that teams are following the rules and are switching, and that FIRST is enforcing the rules.
