1764: Follow up: Proper Action if Net Clamp comes loose?

Further to https://www.robotevents.com/VRC/2023-2024/QA/1738:

Per T7 <T7>, if the net falls off as a result of a robot running into the net, T7 a, ii seems to suggest this does not meet the requirements for a replay. However in Q&A 1738 this is not mentioned.

TIA

The examples listed in <T7> are intended to be descriptive examples to help guide Head Referees and Event Partners, since deciding whether or not to replay a Match is usually a very subjective decision. They are not an exclusive, rigid, or exhaustive list.

You are correct that point iii includes the phrase "not as a result of Robot interactions". We had interpreted Q&A 1738 to be asking, "if a loose net falls due to robot contact, is that a valid extension / exception to the example provided in T7?"

To which our answer is, "yes".
