Heat 2
Can you check the lap counts in heat 2 again please?
I see from the video that RasPerras had 2 laps that weren't counted, and that Pi Hard had an extra lap counted that shouldn't have been.
All in the first minute of the race. 22:40 onwards in the video. Don't go too hard on Arron it was difficult to spot!
RPdI should have 23 laps, Pi Hard 25.
This affects the leaderboard: Swinders and Pi Hard should be joint 11th with 10 points/25 laps each.
Also I urge you to think about how you show rankings beneath ties. After =18th =18th should come 20th aot 19th. Think of it as the team in 20th place has 19 teams ranked ahead of them.

Final decision
Watching the stream again as a group we think the following happened (times from countdown):
9:38 - Pi Hard crossed line, counted
At this point RasPerras nearly crossed the line, then turned around and started running backwards
9:06 - RasPerras crossed line - not counted
9:00 - Pi Hard crossed line, counted
8:45 - RasPerras crossed line - counted
8:43 - Pi Hard crossed line, counted
At 8:42 the scoreboard lists RasPerras with 1 lap, Pi Hard with 3 laps. Based on above this should have been RasPerras with 2 laps, Pi Hard with 3 laps.
Our final decision is that the correction originally posted stands.

Camera Angles
Have you ever thought of placing a camera directly over the top of the race track? It could provide a better view and experience of the race for viewers and make it easier for you to review afterward. It has been quite difficult
to keep track of what is happening on the track during the race.

We would love to...
Unfortunately we cannot get a camera pointing straight downwards which can see the whole track as the roof is simply not tall enough.
We did consider wide angle lenses at one stage, but to get the whole track in at the distance we have the track would be too distorted to see what is going on.
