Re: Silicon Valley Regional 2008

I don't know. Were other teams unaware of this ruling, or simply did not care to change it, as maybe it never affected the final result of a match? I know that we brought it up the first time we saw it happen, but, from the cheering of the crowd, it seemed that everyone else thought it shouldn't be scored.

I personally approached the refs earlier in the regional about a hurdle not being scored when it should have, and even though it did not affect the final score of the match, it changed the future ruling.

I guess, let it be a warning to all teams: If you see the referees making what you think is a ruling interpretation mistake, point it out as soon as you see it. That way, maybe we can avoid unfortunate situations such as this one in th future.
