<SC8> At a local tournament our team did not receive AWP as the head referee interpreted sc8 2 criteria as requiring that one of the scored rings be on the alliance colored stake. The red1 scored 2 rings on a mobile goal and red2 scored 1 ring on another mobile goal and red 1 touched ladder. Please clarify that any 2 stakes on our alliance side meets criteria 2.

Official Q&A: VEX V5 Robotics Competition 2024-2025: High Stakes
2493: AWP requires the Alliance stake?
Answered by committee
We cannot and do not overrule decisions made by Head Referees at events. Per rule <T1>, "Head Referees have ultimate and final authority on all gameplay and robot ruling decisions during the competition" (not the GDC).
That said, If a Drive Team Member believes a Head Referee has made an error during a Match, rule <T3> gives them the right to appeal the ruling. In the case of an incorrect Autonomous Bonus or AWP determination, we recommend that Drive Team Members get the Head Referee's attention before the Driver Controlled Period begins. A Drive Team Member should politely express that they disagree, and ask the Head Referee to recount based on the misunderstood or misapplied rule number.
