<SC4> <SC5> Alliance Triball contacting two offensive zones


James Jobe (Event Partner)
20-Nov-2023

An Alliance Triball at the end of the match is contacting both offensive zones and not contacting a robot of the same color. The note below SC4 states that "If the Triball is contacting both Offensive Zones, then it is not considered scored in either Zone." SC5 states that "Alliance Triballs may be scored in any Goal or Offensive Zone, and always count toward the same color Alliance as the Triball." Given this scenario should the Alliance Triball be scored since the offensive zone it is in is irrelevant, similar to how Alliance Triballs in a goal are treated under SC5?

As you quoted from the note following <SC4>,

If the Triball is contacting both Offensive Zones, then it is not considered scored in either Zone.

This includes Alliance Triballs.
