Re: Scoring Issue

Did the boulders drop into the corral?

If the answer is "No", then they are by definition NOT SCORED. (Section 3.1.4) Unfortunately, that leaves you in a lousy position.

If the answer is "Yes", then you have a Field Fault. THAT needs a determination that there WAS a Field Fault, that it affected the outcome of the match, and that someone complained, in order to do anything. (TBH, I'd suspect that the latter two are pretty straightforwards--you complained that that lost you the match. It's the first one--and convincing the proper personnel--that's the problem.)

If boulders are jammed, that's a different problem altogether, as they're supposed to be poked loose pretty quickly.
