2454: SC4 Switch Scoring Clarification

<SC4>

Hello GDC thank you for your tireless work so far this season! We've seen two different interpretations of SC4 / SC1 in our region:

  1. Anytime a switch meets the description in SC4 the teams should receive credit for that switch being cleared (even if it later becomes uncleared and doesn't end the match cleared).
  2. A switch only counts if the switch is in a cleared position after the match ends.

Based on other scoring rules, we can see either as reasonable and justified. Which is correct?

Thank you for your question! Your second interpretation is correct, and a Switch should only be recorded as Cleared if the Switch is in a Cleared position after the Match ends.
