Re: Zone versus man-to-robot refereeing styles

I thought I would clarify this one since I hadn't worded it the best, and it might be causing some confusion. Here is an example of the situation I was trying to describe:
3 red robots are in the neutral zone, all are in the process of crossing a defense. To my knowledge, with the current "zone" system of refereeing, 2 referees would likely be watching them, and each would have a panel to input the crossings. With the "man-to-robot" system, there will still be 3 robots to watch and 2 panels to input crossings, but there will be 3 referees instead of 2 watching.
