Yes, I noticed this.

Also, what's up with the ref's making two different calls for the same type of field issue?

They announced a ball counting error on blue, and added one point to their score making it a tie.

Then, they announced a ball counting error on red, declaring a field fault and a replay.

It should have either been a replay due to the field fault for blue (from the outset), or a point added for red (resulting in a win) because that's how they handled it for blue.

Their rulings are not consistent. What determines if a fault should result in a points adjustment, or a replay?
