Matches decided by 1 point?

I wonder about how many matches are decided by merely one point, because this year a lot of scores are even numbers, causing the margin of victory to be regularly at least 2 points.
However, IF a robot only got up 4", only then would there be a possibility of a odd number score and a match decided by 1 point.

So tell me, do you guys know of any matches that were won by 1 point? I expect there to be maybe some 16-15 matches, but how about you guys try to remember one with a pretty high score that was won by 1 point?

I’ll give one for now, see if you can think of any others, and especially if they were higher. Or maybe if it’s some sort of unusual score for this year’s game.

Qualification Match 43 at Davis Sacramento Regional: 51-50
This one was close, the losing alliance(766, 1458, 2063) got 20 points on the rack, and then got one bot up 12" for 30 points, bringing their score to 50. Meanwhile, the winning alliance(115, 1359, 1671) got 36 points on the rack, and then got one bot up 4" for 15 points, giving them 51 points.

Thrilling match, and if anybody has a video of that match, please contact me via email at [email protected], my team(especially the webmasters) would love to have it.
