We are ok that it happened, but were told that it was the 70-0 match that was being re-run.... so we left thinking that we lost based on a score difference that was un-obtainable even if the opposing alliance autonomous was run.
Now I see the 70-0 match is posted, not our other match. I do not remember the final score of the match that was replayed.... I just wanted to justify in my mind that a replay was the appropriate remedy.....
Unfortunately our shooter jammed in the beginning of the replay(only time it ever jammed!) so it was the end of the regional for our alliance.
In any event, I am proud of the way my students handled the situation, and learned a valuable lesson in gracious professionalism.
Overall, we had a fantastic time at Bayou, and hope it can be in our schedule for next year. The referees were fair, the penalties were well explained, and the opening ceremonies were second to none!
And if anyone is looking for an unforgettable excursion next year, I highly recommend taking an airboat/swamp/alligator tour.
