2014 Waterloo Regional

[ErvinI]

A lot is at stake for SF 1-3. This will decide who will move on to champs due to 254's wild card, either 4039 or 3683.

Hall of fame teams don't generate Wildcards.

EDIT: Oh wait I get what you mean nevermind, I forgot about Central Valley.

I wonder if the head ref is reviewing video with Aidan right now?

Good call on the Chicken Dance with mascots and judges -- Waterloo rocks!

[Meredith Novak]

And the band played on... and the judges do the chicken dance.

Did that last blue low goal score go in or not??

Waiting for the Ref's to decide, It went in the front, then out the side after the buzzer.

I believe it went in through the front, and somehow went out the side. I think that and another penalty is what they are discussing.

That's the debate.

By the rulebook, probably not. It says 'remain completely' in the goal, although it is unclear how long 'remain' means, as I believe the ball was fully in the goal at some point.

I presume the delay is someone calling FIRST HQ to make sure the intent of the rule is clear and the actual definition of 'remain completely'.

That's what the delay is for. Trying to decide that...

[brandon.cottrell]

Blue wins.

For the record, apparently the goal at the end of the game was not counted.

What a match!! Good job to the ref for taking the time to review and reflect!

Cheers!!!

1114 is having the worst luck with fouls this year.

[Lil' Lavery]

Eeek. Tough way to go. Getting a 50 point foul from the actions of the other alliances, in which they only get a 20 point foul. By the letter of the law, the calls seem correct, though.

[Jonathan Norris]

Goal didn't count.

But 1114 just lost because 1241 broke their 'antenna', I don't get it. Isn't there a rule that you can't cause the other team to get a penalty? you penalize 1241 for causing the damage, but ALSO give 1114 a 50 point penalty for being outside 20" frame perimeter. You can't blame it on one team, then give more penalty points to the other team... ugh.

The rule prevents STRATEGIES causing the opposing alliance to get fouls.

G14:

Strategies aimed solely at forcing the opposing ALLIANCE to violate a rule are not in the spirit of FRC and are not allowed. Rule violations forced in this manner will not result in assessment of a penalty on the target ALLIANCE.

Violation: TECHNICAL FOUL
