At the end of competition, there were 5 teams that finished 9-3 and held rankings 1-5. Last check on the site (and on Sat.), 2 of the teams were listed as 10-2, two of them were listed as 9-3, and one was listed as 8-4.
We wrote our own program for our scouting team to keep track of records (as well as stats like caps, total points, autonomous caps, etc.), and relied on that the later part of Friday to determine the rankings as closely as we could. We do not have the qualifying points section set up in our program, but I might be able to check it and see how the records of your team as well as the team that moved up to #8 (team 64) compared.

Oh boy, you have NO IDEA how much I would appreciate it if you could check your records. If you can't, I'm totally fine with it, but it you have that availability, I would be so happy if you could. If you'd rather, you can email me personally at
CaitlynMcH@aol.com.
Just to let you know...I am still going to contact FIRST personally and see if I can get any more information out of this dispute. I know our chances of nationals are over, but I would rest easier if I knew the judges made a scoring error or something and had legitimate reasons for changing our wins/losses tally.
Keep an eye out for any errors!
We are obviously not the first teams here to have experienced problems!! Thank you all for your gracious support in these mess-ups, and best of luck to each and every team.
