Alamo Regional: Red cards

[DonRotolo]

Not too many penalties at NJ, a few yellow and red cards.

A team was playing defense and was pushed into their opponent's zone by an opponent. The defender then collided with a robot trying to hang: Red Card.

After that, defenders stayed a lot further from the opponent zone.

Probably a dozen lane incursions, mostly inadvertent with no robot-robot contact. Teams learned to avoid tubes in lanes, no matter how attractive.

One particularly egregious act was a team that literally rammed an opponent at about the 8 second mark, messing up the minibot deployment. And they would have won regardless...

Nope, apparently NJ teams were the best behaved by a long shot. Wow, I never thought I'd hear myself say that.

Or the refs there were the most leniant...

I remember that last year, when we went to Philly, after being at FLR, there were tons of penalties our team noticed that went un called. Three cheers for Dante!
