However, since the 0 was a result of the red card, it does not qualify for this thread. It has indeed been christened the "Phyxt-Red-Card" incident in honor of the alliance teams.
Personally, this was the source of both my heart breaking when it happened, then swelling at the teams' response.
The affected teams petitioned FRC HQ to review the incident, and HQ graciously allowed the three alliance members ten district points. These points allowed 1741 to qualify for the World Championship event, where they were quarterfinalists on Newton.

In the past, red cards were given alliance scores of zero officially in the system, and indeed it was at the event. (we had a double-red card elimination match in 2011 where the "lesser" red card got 1 point and the "worse" red card alliance got 0 points. Back then it was W-L in eliminations. It was a simpler time...)
If you recall, week 1 events weren't updated in the FMS due to some nasty network/API issues at HQ. The official event scores weren't updated for several days (I think almost week 2). I wonder if the asterisks and italics is the new way of indicating DQ since it's was impossible to tell before if the zero was due to DQ or zero score. For qualifications, it also lets you know if a team received zero points while the alliance didn't.
Does anyone know of another playoff match that had a red card this year to compare?
