Is it okay to "throw" a match that will be replayed?

[Bob Steele]

I, personally think that you did nothing wrong at all.
Perhaps the person or persons that came to you didn't understand the situation.
You have every right to do what you did and you did nothing that was ungracious at all The problem is that the match should have been stopped immediately by the field team. You should have heard the fog horn...

The policy of playing out these kinds of games caused unnecessary wear on everyone's robots and any team has a perfect right to do whatever they wanted to do...even if it weren't being replayed

If you did not know for sure that the game would be replayed it might be different. Holding back your robot and not playing your hardest in a game that might be counted would probably be counted as ungracious.

I don't know what their problem really was. Did they know that the issue had occurred before you stopped playing? Did they really know that the game was going to be replayed?

If they knew everything that you knew; I can't figure out why anyone would have an issue with what you did.

wierd

Now, if you do this at CMP or elsewhere and you are not TOTALLY convinced that a field fault has occurred and there is absolutely NO chance that the match will be counted you should keep playing for your alliance and try to win.
Now, no matter how Chief Delphi would react to a problem with the field or mistakes that were made, It will not help your alliance. If you choose your path you will be trying to help your own team at the expense of your alliance partners. I would not consider that to be good form. That is a bad idea.
