The way the referees were calling it in SVR is that they were only calling intentional (what in their mind was not incidental) contact outside the bumper zone a penalty. While we made some outside the bumper zone contact in the finals, similar contact was made against us earlier in the elimination, and went uncalled.
We made a mistake in not tying our arm back until we deployed it in the finals. Even with the stop we had, the arm had a tendency to flip slightly forward, and extrude outside our frame. In the future, when we're playing defense, we will either tie it back with a something that will snap when we want to deploy it, or just deploy it immediately in the beginning of the match.
