Watch the ramparts!

I know that nothing can change now but I was just shocked that the system even allows the lights to go back on after they had been turned off.

Actually... They WERE only CROSSED once.

Read the full definition of crossing; there are three elements, and one of the three was, in fact, violated on the second crossing attempt. That should have been a wave-off by the refs, I think... but the refs at CMP weren't very good at signaling to each other so the teams could see from the stands.

I'm not sure how they work, but that's the best I can think of. At about 1:38 in the video, the blue rough terrain is pushed out of its platform. Maybe that had something to do with it?

They are manually controlled, in the sense that the refs have to touch their tablets to record crossings, and recording a crossing controls the lights. Removing a crossing has to be a deliberate act, as it requires two separate button pushes in two different areas of the screen. I would say that that particular crossing was deliberately removed--as for why, see above.

The rough terrain would have nothing to do with that particular incident.
