The issue with the tower chains was dramatically highlighted during yesterday's semi-finals at New England champs. A high-goal shot resulted in one of the boulders getting hung up in the chains, and a subsequent shot knocked the wedged boulder back out of the tower. In this case, the refs called a field error, stopped the match and worked on the chains before restarting the match.
This was right after high drama where a boulder had not been accurately counted during a previous match, transferring the win to the other alliance. The now-losing alliance was able to effectively contest that the uncounted boulder was a field error and the match should be replayed.
Who needs daytime soaps when one can watch FRC matches?
