Palmetto Regional

Webcast was giving me a tough time here in Georgia coming in at about 180 Kbps. Now I am getting 331 and video is much better. Look forward to seeing our friends from Peachtree.

I just watched 1626 score 3 in the last 30 seconds for a quick victory. You have to watch out for this team. The are great to work with and a lethal, quick scorer.

hi there, ive just gotten access to the webcasts and I was wondering if any1 had the the time sheet for what teams are gonna be playing at what time

[aallen88]

Just watched match 29 with my favs 1251 :-D. Awesome ramp action kids...way to score 76 pts! Wish I was down there right now :-(.

[chs1368]

ha, the announcer just called 1369 perpetual motion, which is our teams name, 1368

I just heard the Head Ref overruled a ramping bonus for the last match, because the ramp started to rise after the time expired...I was under the idea that the score is finished when the robots stop moving/the refs are out there to measure...can someone please clarify this one for me.
This may very well determine the 1st seed...and I would hate to see a Ref make such a mistake.

It was orignally scored as 19 - 16 then went to 4 - 16 after the refs final decision was changed...

Exactly, shouldn't it have stayed 19-16?

The refs just made another ruling after the score was put up at Palmetto again...they need to work on that, and reading the rules.

[Chinaman07]

I agree.

[dangerousdave]

Wow, the announcer just had the crowd stand up and say hello to the webcast prior to match 53. Unfortunately the camera person didn't get the word and we saw none of them.

Lets go 1746 & 832.

A YELLOW CARD!
First I've heard of this year, for overly aggressive play.


Scratch that...the refs changed their minds again....sigh

[Rick]

Oh snap, yellow card on that last match.

Aidan Browne (Lead/Chief/Head Referee of all the regionals) is at the event along with a very experience ref crew so I'd imagine whatever was change was probably the correct call, and needed to be made. Terrell, Chris, and the rest of them have a lot of experience and have definitely read the rules.

Not to take a shot at Aidan, gotta love him, he did make an incorrect call at the UTC Preship Scrimmage, and was later corrected.
