Question about Curie Finals

The refs weren't watching the video, they were looking at the display on the scoring computer to see if they could see where the discrepancy was. Members from both alliances came up and offered video/photo proof to support their claim, but the refs wouldn't look at it since the rules say they can't.

So that's what they were looking at.

I don't think any video review was involved. Instead the ref crew was aware that there was a scoring error somewhere, and it was corrected. As I recall, the score that was reported was so far off that everyone knew it couldn't be right - anyone watching knew the score had to have been close, not the wide margin that was reported - and the correct score was recomputed. For the next several matches the scores were computed by hand to check the screen, but no further errors were found.

The original score posted was:
-------Red Alliance-----Blue Alliance
Score: 72--------------20
Bonus: 30--------------60
Penalty: 0---------------0
Final: 102--------------80

When you watch the video on soap, the video shows that this score was correct.

So the Red Alliance should have gotten the match to count towards them? Does anyone know if the Keeper that was scored in the final Finals match, that shouldn't have been scored, would have changed the outcome of the match if the ref had called it how it should have been? It wasn't resting on the spider arm at the end of autonomous, only when the arm fell slightly afterwards and it was in their gripper. I know that isn't considered a score. That's how we lost one of our matches. She counted a spoiler that shouldn't have been counted.
