.. grid-item-card:: Why aren’t you going to replay that match?

There are only certain situations that warrant replaying a match. Unless we can prove that it was a
field fault or Wi-Fi interference, we cannot replay a match.
There are only certain situations that warrant replaying a match. Consult the Competition Manual to understand what conditions and processes can result in a replay.

for a replay.

.. grid-item-card:: Why don’t you fix/cleanup the wireless environment? It’s obvious the wireless environment is disruptive and causing disconnects.

WiFi is observed throughout the event.
Teams can work with the event FTA or Event Director if they have questions about the WiFi environment.

.. grid-item-card:: What do we do if we think the scoring referees scored our match wrong or the scorekeeper put the wrong score into the computer.

Teams may formally protest a match for a period of time not to exceed three matches following the match in question. If a team wants to dispute a score,
one student representative should wait patiently in the designated Question Box area for the head referee (do not interrupt matches for this conversation).
If the referees agree that they made a mistake, they can correct it. If the referees are confident in their score, the team should accept that decision.
Refer to GM1 <C02>.
