2122: Determining Placed Mobile Goal


Pete Niemann (Event Partner)
6-Sep-2024

The protection provided by rule <SG11> applies to Placed Mobile Goals and Scored Rings. Rule <SC5> specifies that only one Mobile Goal may be considered Placed in each Corner.

If two goals are in a positive corner that is opposite of the alliance drivers station during the last 15 seconds and they want to remove one, can they ask a Scorekeeper which MG is considered placed? Should a Scorekeeper assist all / no teams?

If a Team cannot determine whether or not a Mobile Goal is Placed in a Protected Corner during a Match, they are allowed to ask the Head Referee for an opinion, but the Head Referee might not be able to respond immediately based on the requirements of their role.

If a Head Referee cannot determine which (if any) of multiple Mobile Goals is Placed in a Corner during an <SG11> interaction, they should assume that none of the Mobile Goal are protected. This judgment call can only be made by the Head Referee with guidance from other referees who witnessed the interaction.
