Those that were'nt there, the jist of it is that in the quarters, semis and final matches, red alliance always won. You can see at the match standings on the blue alliance.

Coincidence? Or was it that the system was not counting some points scored by the blue alliance (blue trackballs crossing over finish lines). I know that once we brought this up to the judges they changed to score on one match (match 16?). They changed some points scored by blue in hybrid mode and some other points that i can't remember. I came across a website that was webcasting this regional yesterday

frc.qnetalpha.com

But it seems to be down right now. If you have any videos of matches so we can see if certain points were not being scored could we please discuss how to get them up- i know nothing can be changed, the regional is over, but still, i think we would all like to know.
I wouldn't be surprised to think there were technical problems at Colorado. I know that the whole system crashed at Peachtree and that points were doubled at Palmetto during the quarterfinals (trust me I was down on the field for all the mayhem!!)

I really hope FIRST figures out what is going wrong before Nationals!! I don't think my blood pressure can take any more of the chaos!!
