I am just now reading this message and I am in Jack's corner on this one.

I don't know what the rules say now, but by the time Atlanta rolls around, the rule should not be that both reds count and blue does not.

If both red tetras count, then it will be a trivial matter for any number of teams to do just what Jack shows on many goals. I can list 20 teams from memory that I think could do this intentionally if they want to.

If both red tetras count, in effect, this not only scores 2 tetras for the red alliance but it also means the following two things:

1. red owns the goal for the rest of the match
2. the goal is out of scoring contention for the rest of the match because it is almost impossible for blue (or anyone for that matter) to score on top of the 2 reds and they cannot be descored.

This is a non-trivial change in the game, one that I believe it will be a change for the worse.

Thoughts?
