Re: Curie Semifinal 1 - 3, what happened?
Was the arm being supported by the arm which was supported by the spider leg? If it is so, then it is correct that it should not count imho, because it is being supported by a field element other than the spider leg.*

Also, we had something somewhat similar, if not as agregious, happened to us in our first Qualifying Match at Midwest. Team 858 pushed us into the arm and we started going up on 2 wheels then they kept pushing and we ended up on our backs. It was not penalized then either. It seems to me both of these are consistant, though I think both of them should have been penalties.

* Note I do not know this is the case, pure speculation.
