I can post one tonight if someone doesn’t first. There were a million cameras down there though so someone probably has a better one

Which match. Been working at the event and finally getting to watch matches.
Quart final 1 Match 1
It happened at FIM Jackson too, the first alliance had a triple traversal and still lost.

Yes because they did not clear the balls from their area before the climb. They blocked the blues access to the balls. SO for every 5 seconds that they blocked access they were penalized for it. So Red got the triple climb for 45 points but incurred a 36 Penalty points!

Here’s a view from the stands. It was impressive to see. Bummer it was only worth 9 points. A high bar climb would have been more valuable.

This was actually a second triple traverse, this one was on Mercury before lunch setting a (then) unpenalized high score of 160.

It looked to me like they purposely put all the blue balls there and then climbed early to block them off lol
I will take a look at it. I was watching it live is why I know when it happened. Still quite amazing.
Yeah same
