Who Owns This Goal

I agree that Red owns the goal since it appears that the Red is on top of the blue, even though the blue is higher (interesting little paradox). How was it that the tetras got in that position (i e, in which odrer were they placed onto the goal?)

It is a question of interpretation, but the rules do state that the tetra that is physically higher gets ownership, so I'm going to break the trend and go with blue.

Has anyone asked this in an update?

If blue is indeed in scoring position (the 6" rule and stuff) then I would say blue because if you look at the back corner it shows that blue was put on top slightly after red was.

yeah, but for that to happen blue has to be "scored" which, according to FIRST, means within 6"

How did you even manage to get the tetras in that position anyway? Seriously. Do you even think the tetras will get in that position in a match anyway?

Read the thread before you ask questions.
