We had nothing plugged into the header, nor was any debris in contact with it.

We didn't have a backup battery charger, but perhaps the backup battery is low, or loose. I am fairly certain that it was recently charged and I tightly plugged in, but if it happens at championships, that will be the first thing I check.
