Re: [moderated]: Ask the Champ Referees!
When is a ring considered scored and what is the criteria for descoring it? Lets say redbot is scoring a ringer. Redbot releases its grip, but due to bluebots defense, becomes tangled with the ringer. In its struggle to get free, redbot's gripper maintains contact with the ringer but the ringer at one point becomes fully supported by the spider leg. Bluebot gives a final push and redbot is pushed away from the rack, still tangled with their ringer. In the process of being pushed, redbot removes the ringer from the rack. Is this action a descore, and if so, who is penalized?
I realize this situation happens extremely quickly and referees may not always be in the proper position to see everything, but I'm just looking for how this is intended to be called.
Thanks!
