No, there WAS a reason. The refs made a goof, and the Manual said the opposite of what they said. So instead simply correcting the scores, they did a replay (second goof). The "wrong" alliance won. FIRST wound up giving the finalists slots at the Championship because of that error.

Second the call for none of that this year...

Not that they've had a hard time of it in the past. (Show of hands, who's gone back--or at least wanted to go back--for another round of those brownies with the marshmallows on them that they serve at the Georgia Dome?)

FIRST, please keep the hard stuff hard and the easy stuff easy.

If they have their leads attached. If they don't, they don't. See the other threads on this topic for full details/reactions.

FIRST please...

in face of economic difficulties, unprecedented growth that seems to happen faster than anyone would ever be able to keep up with and supply for, mounting criticism for any and everything you do and the never ending search to find new ideas to challenge the fertile minds that crave more from you every year I ask one thing...

keep fighting the good fight and never give up.
We need you more than ever.

FIRST, Please:

Do not rely only on live scoring for final match scores. Verify and adjust the score from the trailers at the end of the match. With a ref at each trailer, it takes seconds to verify.

Scores will be verified by hand.
