Re: YMTC: Descoring Tetras???

Another great YMTC.

What makes this one interesting, in my opinion, is that Bluateam is attempting to score. In past year's games, if a team was attempting to position itself to score, it was fair game for more contact. Whether that means a full blast ramming really depends on the specifics of the situation. I'd say, if the whole crowd gasped, it probably means that red might have overdone it with the collision. The threshold is probably around 60 - 65 percent.

If, on the other hand, ramming wasn't a factor, and I've never seen it called, I'd say that the two scored tetras that were dislodged by the vigorous defense should count, and the final should be 118 - 118.

Here's a question - would a referee seriously DQ a team for a single instance of rough play in the final world championship match? Do we really want the world champion decided by a referee's call?
