YMTC: Bluabot comes to rest touching a blue trackball on the overpass

Thank you 2008 GDC! You Make The Call (YMTC) is a series of situations where you are the official and make the call.
Please reference specific rules when applicable. The results of YMTC are not official and are for educational purposes only.

Welcome to the inaugural Dogwood Regional! We are here in the second match of what has already been a thrilling final. Bluateam, with their #1 seeded, yet-undefeated, fast-driving, high-hurdling Bluabot, has, in cooperation with strong alliance partners, come to the very precipice of victory at Dogwood. In the first match of the final round, however, Redalliance gave Blualliance a run for their money in a match that ended with a Blue victory, 108 to 106. As the second match of the finals gets underway, the scoring is fast and furious. Both teams are going for broke and the hurdles just keep on coming. With only 15 seconds to go in the match, Redalliance has a 10 point lead over the mighty Blualliance, 118 to 108. With 11 seconds to go in the match, Bluabot caps a blue trackball on the Blue Overpass and crosses the Blue finish line. Seeing that Blualliance may still need to put more points on the board in order to eek out the win, Bluabot races around the track to try to get one last lap in before the buzzer.

Bluabot weaves in and out of traffic as it flies around the track. Bluabot turns on the jets as it crosses the opponent’s finish line with just seconds to go. Rounding the last corner with only one second remaining, Bluabot heads for the Blue finish line. When the clock strikes zero and the buzzer sounds, Bluabot is still 5 feet from the finish line. Bluabot coasts to a stop underneath the overpass. In the stands, Blualliance’s fans look at the real-time scoring ( 118 to 110 in favor of Red) and factor in the capped blue trackball and erupt into cheers of victory! But wait! The referees are inspecting the blue trackball on the overpass. It appears that Bluabot has come to rest in a position where its ball-removal device is touching the blue trackball on the overpass!

Assuming a penalty-free match, does Bluateam's alliance get the harrowing 4 point win and take home gold at the inaugural Dogwood Regional? Or has Redalliance held on to score an upset victory by 8 points to force the finals to a rubber match?


Based on the 2008 Rules, YOU MAKE THE CALL!
