They were going to write it off since there was no actual proof, but apparently one of the refs said that he didn't think the score was right either. They thought the PDA's were malfunctioning that match and not communicating correctly. So they decided to replay the match, and each subsequent match was scored manually using paper and pencil to back up the PDA's.


I'm just the messenger here, and that's what I gathered from the bits and pieces I was told.
Yes, that is what the head ref told me and a few others on the red alliance. She said that the problem occured in transferring the PDA's information to the screen to total the score. Since the PDAs don't save thier information and a video reply is not allowed, there was nothing the red alliance could really do.

Although the one ringer would not have effected the score, as the head ref said, there may have been more scoring errors in transfering the data.

It is a little disheartening to hear that the next matches were scored with paper. As the head ref said, this same thing happened during Thursday's qualification matches, so they knew there was a possibility to have errors. Hopefully this is something that is fixed before next year.

Anyway, congrats to 330, 910 and 1270. After hearing that the match wouldn't be counted, we knew we were in trouble. Beating an alliance that great three times in a row is very difficult.

Thanks again to 67 and 48; both of you were amazing partners.
