I'm surprised and impressed.

Holy cow. That's impressive.

I have to disagree with the idea that repeated roll-overs are a "problem" that the refs must "draw the line" at and somehow address. Unintentional roll-overs are not a problem for anyone except the team that it happens to, and their alliance partners. It is a design flaw that greatly hampers your ability to play the game and probably your chances for success, and is somewhat of a penalty in and of itself. I can't think of a downside effect it has on anyone else or the game. I think the GDC got it exactly right when they gave it the treatment that it has in update 16.

I also wanted to make it clear that my team is not at the Wisconsin event. The original post was merely an observation, and asked if the same thing was being seen at other events.
