You fouled us in the defense. How is he supposed to cross if you just sit there? You could have easily avoided being run into by not blocking the defense. From his perspective he was trying to cross a defense and get to the low goal. You totally blocked the defense (of course that was not called either).
Thanks for the video link in watching it IMO I agree the blue bot should have yielded position due to being in a very susceptible tipping position parked longways very close to OW exit path and did park themselves in a position inviting contact and obstructed an exit.

I think the flip was called correctly IMO as red finished the tip process.

In fact a G11 for "inviting a tip penalty" could have been called the opposite way IMO

Just lucky the other two red bots didn't tag Blue too for another 20 points in last 20 seconds.

The last bot actually seemed to push Blue into SP to make room to reach the batter on right side , not sure they even knew about the free scale in watching that. So no G11 at all IMO

Have those kids watch the video again with the rule book and they should be able to call it themselves.
