Detroit Championship Fair Play Question

It has come to our attention that there has been an allegation made on Reddit of match throwing during a qualification match at the FIRSTTech Challenge, Detroit World Championships held last week.

Match throwing is considered egregious behavior and is a direct violation of not only our rules, but also goes against our key ethos of Gracious Professionalism and Coopertition. We take such allegations seriously and will fully investigate this claim.

It is important to note that there are always several sides to any story, and I ask that our community continue to be exemplars of Gracious Professionalism and not jump to immediate conclusions, nor attack others in this process.
