The current high score is above 250

Also, I told you my sophomore boys were going farther than quarters...

100% accuracy today

Oops... TBA hasn't updated. Edited post to reflect this.

Edit: And did the stream go offline for everyone?

It's dead for me.

[Bob Steele]

Same here... dead going into finals

Very Choppy stream, but robozone is still up http://www.robozonetv.com/live-stream

Edit: Stream is back up, but robozone is a good backup if it goes down again.

Interesting recall on that first finals match. As it was described it should have been a field fault. If the ref panel failed that's a field fault.

Congrats to 27, 67, 1718, and 6086 on a hard-fought win! This entire event has been crazy competitive, kudos to them for a good win.

Easily the best MSC finals since 2010 (maybe ever). Congrats to the champions! Incredible matches in every round

[Arhowk]

Dang.

We accidentally shot when we were about to climb and it messed up the extension of the arm.

Funny that both the team that I'm on and the team that I mentor got knocked out due to failed climbs.

Oh well, 5460 the silver kings (0-4). Congratulations to 27, 67, and 1718

As I understood it, it wasn't a failure of the tablet, but a failure of FMS to register what the tablet said. I'm no expert on the system, but is that not similar to when real-time scoring fails? They don't call field faults for those.

They did in NE this weekend. I am not entirely sure, but I think whether to redo the match or not in that case is up to the head referee's discretion.

They also called a field fault in MI earlier today when one of the automated scorers failed.

Maybe there is a difference between the automatic scorers and the human-operated scorers.

Wow, the fight for the last district point spot went down to the 6th tie-breaker and was awarded to the 76th ranked team.

The problem wasn't with the human scorers. The defense was punched in to the ref's tablet, but the FMS somehow didn't register it. I don't think this is considered a field fault — I've never heard of this happening, actually. There WAS a fault with the ball counter in the tower (OF 2-15) and the match was replayed. I think Josh Fox is correct here.

Holy crap. Could you explain a little further? Actually, do you (or does anyone) know where we can see the advancement scoring breakdown?
