hybrid rules are not quite stable..

Apparently I did not express the intent of my post clearly.

One or more of the first couple posts in this thread appeared to say "OMG St. Louis Regional is tainted this matched was messed up SOOOOO BAD."

I was merely trying to say that the official recorded score appears to be correct, including the knockdown of the red alliance's trackball during hybrid by 525.

I was not trying to say that this is something to be relied on, or that it happens often.

Also, this could be a case of the announcer saying one thing and the score being entirely different. Often, an announcer may say something that the head ref may disagree with.

Announcers don't keep the score. They are fairly outgoing people, make witty remarks, and wear goofy shirts. We can't take them too seriously.
