Mistakes with scoring

Having been involved with a scoring mistake in the first event of the LI Regional, all I can say it that the judges where very gracious in reviewing the score when asked, and making the proper adjustments.

At first, they announced the wrong score, and the wrong alliance winning.

Upon discussion with them, they announced the correct score, but still the wrong alliance as the winner.

Upon further discission with them, they got it right.

As has been mentioned, the refs are volunteers, not professional referees, but even if they were, we all make mistakes. The team should know the score within a fews seconds of the match ending, and calmly ask if they feel the score is not what they calculate (as this was what worked for us).
