Just to add more to reinforce the above, there's a "blue box" which explains the GDC philosophy on this matter (end of section 3.1.3):
Quote:
If it is unclear whether a ROBOT has satisfied the requirements for
CROSSING or REACHING a DEFENSE, the REFEREES are instructed
to not award credit. As such, DRIVE TEAMS should make it very clear
that their ROBOT has met the criteria for CROSSING or REACHING a
DEFENSE.

If it's unclear, no credit. I'm no lawyer (although I've been accused of being one in FIRST rule interpretation), but the originally-described approach seems pretty "unclear" to me.
