The only situation where you can get a 2 on 1 is that which the 3rd team (the team who hadn't played the first round) was not available for the second match. Can you clarify this? The second question is, did team 61 use a timeout in the elimination rounds before they asked for one in the finals?

they told the ref which team where going to be on the field which was buzz. while they were trying to fix the robot and ran out of time then they asked for the other robot to be placed on. We said no. then they called for a time out. then when they could fix it in the time alloted we waitted until they did have a machine partly fix by then 10 mins had gone by and we said no

team 61 never called a time out. I just found out that the ref indeed ask the other team if it would be all right to let or teammate put their robot on the field and they told him no. We did not here the head ref say that on the PA system.
