cycles not starting

[kstl99]

This same thing happened at Granite State District Event in Nashua NH at least twice. One match will be replayed. There was also a mixup with a ball being brought to the pedestal then being brought to a human player, wasting much time. It must be a "week 1" phenomenon.

We had a match at CIR where upon re-watching the match we were shorted an entire cycle with 3 assists and a truss shot (50 pts). I believe some other points were also not scored totaling (70pts) We lost 81 to 136.

I'm not complaining about the refs not doing there job. I'm backing up the notion that the refs are responsible for way to much. This is the only game I can think of where the flow of the match has been so heavily dependent upon the refs interactions.

There were also multiple instances of the pedestal not lighting for 15 seconds or so as mentioned above.

There was at least one instance where a dead ball was called and the pedestal would not light. The alliance sat there for the last 20 seconds of the match with nothing to do and then threw their hands up.
