High Score at the CT Regional

[Norm Plude]

I'd like to thank team 1493 The Falcons and team 1155 the SciBorgs who helped with this incredible score of 558, our team number. FIRST called the match when it got out oh hand, excess speed. Also, can the advisers of those teams please send the check to the score keeper. He has been sending me emails all day long that say "SMOoo-KER, SMOoo-KER, SMOoo-KER, SMOoo-KER". What is with that.

Good luck to the UberBots, team 1124, from your friends team 558.

How fast were you going???

[Norm Plude]

Nope the score just kept going up. Our team was in the match, I think it was match 46 on Friday. I caught the same shot just 4 points lower. It's a keeper even if it doesn't count.

Haha, oh yeah, only the greatest of alliances can get a score like this! The refs thought it was too amazing of a score and gave us penalties for excessive awesomeness. Otherwise we could have scored 1,493 points!

How one would score an odd number of points would only have been explainable that way.

I'd believe an odd score, but only if it was at SVR. (We had 9-10=0 points for our alliance displayed on the big screen after qualification match number 3 until I got to stand in the contesting box and point out our score was odd. At least that made it easy to get fixed.)

And that's quite the picture. Even blue's score would be quite impressive for an extended practice match based on what I was seeing Thursday if it was the result of someone playing with the scoring system afterwards. Whatever the circumstances, must have been fun... but next time aim for our team number instead! Could it even display 4 digits?

Thanks! If you guys had a 558 point match, do you think we can score 1124? What if we play together?

[EricH]

So what really happened? (Or was somebody playing with the scoring system?)

if we get 1,000 awesome points it might be possible.

[seg9585]

What really happened was someone was trying to reset the scoring system or something, incorrectly obviously. This was an extended thursday practice match and the real score was something like 38-32.
