Re: Rules that are [not] getting called at Regionals, the +s and -s

If the scorers started the match the Arena Controllers would not get the signal that the match has started. During the Finals the Final Score would be tallied up as let say blue 25 red 35 but for the final score it would say blue 25 red 0 even though there was no penalties thrown.
Not to make too fine a point of it, but please be aware that neither the scoring system nor the arena control system were developed by Innovation First Inc (IFI). If problems with the field control and/or scoring system were experienced at your regional event (and where were they not?), then please do not blame IFI - they didn't have anything to do with it.
