Re: Unfortunate Red Card Ruling on Newton

And what about 330 in Einstein Semifinal match 1-2? They were tipped, but they recovered, and there wasn't a red card for it (there couldn't have been one because there was a tiebreaker match after).

Of course, the second time they tipped was obviously not due to an opponent, as it was from falling while scaling.
