Re: Regional-specific rules, etc., and do the referees read the rules?
I feel your pain. At L.A., in the final round, one of the blue robots tipped the best red robot. No penalty was called, though intentional tipping is a 10 point penalty. Worse, this occured in the human loading zone, which makes it 30 for interference (+10 for tipping?) The refs should, ideally, know the game rules, safety rules, and size rules inside out. Then they should act on them, including entanglement and tipping.
