Re: 2016 Carver Subdivision

While we were disappointed our shot was missed, the refs and FTA did give us a lot of their time trying to sort things out after the match was over, and followed the correct protocols as far as I understand.

HQ was called, and ruled that the sensor was to be checked. If it was bad, then a replay would take place (a replay which could've turned out any number of ways, especially considering 1836 [I'm pretty sure it was them] had issues for most of the match). The FTA checked the sensor, which appeared to be functioning, and considering the rest of the matches afterward seemed to run without a hitch, it appears we just got supremely unlucky somehow.

At the end of the day, all else equal, it was the difference between us seeding 3rd instead of 4th, and what's done is done. I'm not sure exactly how it affected our partners.

This did get me thinking a little about how some sort of video review could be implemented. Maybe in a highly restricted set of circumstances, like only for scoring actions similar to this? That way we could avoid the hassle of every penalty call being questioned or what-have-you.
