Re: Scoring error at Boston.

At the Virginia regional there were multiple occurrences like this affecting multiple teams, us being one of them. In one match, we scored 6 goals, none of them were counted. Apparently this one specific red goal's ball sensor was especially sensitive and even the slightest touch before it COMPLETELY cleared the goal chute would trip the automatic penalty. This problem caused many delays and eventually they just replaced the sensor altogether. I'm pretty sure in the elimination rounds they were using volunteers to keep track of scores in addition to their automated system, but I think that also may have been due to the ball return sensors malfunctioning and they were actually keeping track of the 11 seconds for the balls to be returned. Oh well, hopefully they have these issues sorted out before the championship.
