There are a couple of scenarios here, so let's start with a case statement that might help us narrow what's going on:

There was a team and the Midwest or NJ regional that managed 6 line crosses in hybrid mode. I'm curious as to if that team received an additional 2 points for crossing their finish line the 2nd time. I don't remember who it was, nor did I see it but I do remember hearing the announcer saying it.

If the team didn't receive 2 more points, then it seems the GDC has a hole in their rules that needs clarification. The scoring system either ignored the lap or the IR sensor is set to only activate in TELEOP mode, at which point it would seem bots that never moved in HYBRID mode should receive the initial 2 points.

If that team did get the additional 2 points then it seems like it's actually an implementation change that would have to occur since it would appear that the IR lap counter is simply set to ignore the first hit.

This first hit could also be an "I'm alive" message so the IR lap counting system can initialize with the proper IR receivers. If THIS is the case then it would be very difficult to change it to allow bots to score a lap on the first pass in TELEOP if they never made it past the overpass in HYBRID.
