FTC Fields / Refs

[gillejr]

I am glad to hear you had almost no difficulties. I do believe the Edison fields ran smoothly. My complaints are about how the Franklin fields were run. I do believe I remember seeing a rematch happen on the Edison field as well.

When the same problem keeps occurring on the same field with different robots, different crystals, fresh batteries, the only common thing is the field equipment.

I didn't see every single match on Edison, but the only re-rerun I personally saw was when the head ref signaled the scorekeeper to not start the match, after he had already hit the start button. The scorekeeper then turned off the field and the match had to be restarted.

You may be mistaken. The re-run on the edison field was actually teams from the franklin division. I believe Mr. Roboto had a faulty crystal (or something to that extent) so a rematch was given. I believe the reason it was on the Edison field was because of scheduling.
