OK – So you’re not impressed by the rules of logic. Then here’s an even better reason not to count either nested tetra:

Suppose that Redateam (1213) has an epiphany brought about by the ruling at MWR and what would have been the ruling at WMR, had the nesting occurred. (Refs voted == Democracy in action)

They slightly modify the end of their arm so that their human player can easily nest a second tetra. Redateam is real fast and can cap their end row and one side with a nested pair each – for a total of ten tetras on five goals with two rows. Redateam is so fast that they can get home along with their partners.

Check out this picture of what happened when BlueAlliance tried to cap those Red goals:





Assuming that the rest of the RedAlliance didn’t even bother to move out of their end-zone, Red score equals ((2 * 3) * 5 + 2 * 10 + 10) = 60 points! Beat that Blue!
