Yes. It was a nice surprise when we saw it that night seeing as how it was our originally our only loss.

After all teams are notified, a general announcement would be made by the MC and/or head ref to the crowd, explaining what happened and what the new ruling was. Because the revised score would be committed to FMS as soon as the new ruling is reached, rankings would reflect the fact first.

I know the ref did not talk to myself personally and everyone on the teams was shocked when they saw that we ended up going undefeated so I do not believe the head ref told anyone.

It worked during practice and possibly for Q1. From then on out the live score on the board was never correct for the blue alliance and you had to wait till the end to see it. It made it nearly impossible to try and keep a 1 point margin between the winners and losers not knowing the score. So we altered our strategy and went with score as many points as possible at all times.
