Re: More Scoring Issues...

In reference to the scoring issues with hybrid mode at the Waterloo Regional, yes there were a few instances where alliances had their hybrid scores under or over counted as shown on the real time scoring. But, what was not evident to the audience, was that the ref crew was tracking all hybrid scoring on a pad of paper as well. During the pause between hybrid and tele-operated mode, head ref Manny Ma, would verify all hybrid scores and if need arose changes were made on the scoring computer after the match. So, matches which seemed to be scored incorrectly on the audience display were actually being counted correctly when it came to the official scoring.

I have to agree with Jonathan, I felt the Waterloo Regional was the best reffed event that I've seen either in person or via webcast. The calls were consistent through out the weekend.
