Our first loss was from another strange rule interpretation that you couldn't have any part of your body cross the starting line during autonomous. Tytus pointed at a goal and about 8" of his hand was crossing that line and we drew a 10pt flag. Then we got a loading zone penalty - another 10pts. So those 2 were ours and then our alliance parters both drew (2) 10 pt penalties. So we ended that match with 40pts penalties.

we got our act cleaned up after that but our second loss both of our alliance partners were holding their tetras during autonomous - (2) 10pt penalties and lost by 2 pts

third loss our 2 alliance partners were standing on the wrong pressure pads. They decided to switch pads after autonomous started. So the ref had to either disqualify our alliance or give us (2) 30pt penalties. We got the 30pt penalties - 60pts. In this match we scored 72 pts but not enough to cover 60 pts penalty.

Needless to say we were a little upset. We came back strong after these and capped a minimum of 6 per match from then on out.
