Re: pic: Kaizen at BattleCry

Although I was not on that side of the field, I have an idea as to how it might have been scored. SOme of you may recall the center goal being tipped over at Mayhem, this is similar. When a goal is tipped, the opposing alliance owns that goal. So, if a red robot tipped that goal over, it would belong to blue.

I do not know about the tetras that would have been in. Rules allow removal of contained tetras, so the one on the ground probably wouldnt count. The one in the goal might, but it isnt stacked. Look closely, you will see that the one in the corner of the tipped goal is sitting in the apex of the goal. You can tell because 1) if it was stacked, the metal pipes would be inside the blue tetra, and 2) the apex resting against the neighboring goal was probably because the goal was probably dislodged first, and then tipped, with the pipe that is currently flat on the ground on the axis, and 3) for that side to be the top, the face of the goal that is close to the alliance station would have velcro on it, which by looking at the reflection in the diamond plate, it does not.

However, if the goal did have a tetra that was stacked on it which came off in the tip, it would probably be ruled as a descoring, so the opposing alliances's tetras would be scored (and the opposing alliance owns the goal already since it was tipped).

Any other refs have an opinion? This was only my second time reffing so I could be wrong.
