Re: What defines a field fault?
Game Manual, section 5.5.5
Quote:
5.5.5 MATCH Replays
Over the course of the Tournament, ARENA FAULTS may occur. An ARENA FAULT is an error in ARENA operation that includes, but is not limited to:- A. broken FIELD elements,
- B. power failure to a portion of the FIELD (tripping the circuit breaker in the PLAYER STATION is not considered a power failure
- C. improper activation by the FMS
- D. errors by FIELD STEWARDS
- E. a Team STANDARD falling into the FIELD
T20 If, in the judgment of the Head REFEREE, an ARENA FAULT occurs that affects the outcome of the MATCH and any team on the affected ALLIANCE desires a replay, the MATCH will be replayed.
All reasonable effort is made to create the same conditions when replaying a MATCH. This means, for example, that a Team which was BYPASSED during the MATCH which is to be replayed, is BYPASSED for the replay MATCH. The DEFENSES used during the MATCH which is to be replayed are also used for the replay MATCH.

replay. Examples include, but are not limited to: - A. a piece of FIELD plastic falls into the FIELD in the last 5 seconds of a MATCH, far away from any human or ROBOT activity, and in such a way that it does not affect MATCH outcome
- B. delay in the playing of an ARENA sound
- C. mismatch between the timer on the Audience Screen and the FIELD Timer
