I've got that one on tape also ... working on some edit's as I've got 2 clips ... ball yelling in clip 1, and final score in clip 2. Once I splice them together I'll upload it and provide a link here.

I clearly saw, first-hand, the entire contact-patch of the ball completely across the finish line. The tape isn't conclusive, but it's supportive. I've gotta' re-read the rules regarding how much of the ball has to cross the plane, because if the whole ball has to cross, then it was clearly not enough to score. The alliance penalty somewhat negates the relevence of this call, but it was suspensefull nonetheless. Without that penalty, and if that final ball crossing counted, it would've been a tie!

(and Thanks for the 'bot compliments, we were very proud to ally with y'all)
