<SC3>
A Control Zone is considered Controlled by an Alliance if a majority of the Blocks Scored in that Control Zone are the same color as the Alliance.
• For Long Goals, a Scored Block is considered Scored in the Control Zone if it is entirely contained within that Control Zone.
• A Block must be considered Scored in a Goal (see <SC2>) to also be considered Scored in a Control Zone.
Figure SC3-1: The left-most (red) Block is not fully within the tape lines marking the boundaries of the Control Zone, and therefore would not be considered in determining which Alliance is in control of the Goal. The three other (green) Blocks are fully within the tape lines, and would be considered.
Figure SC3-2: The (green) Block on the right is fully within the tape boundaries, and would be considered as scored.In most cases, if you can’t see a little bit of the next Block on the “inside” of the tape line (see figure SC3-2), the Block on that side of the Control Zone probably isn’t entirely contained within the Control Zone. It’s not practical to examine every Block at a detailed level to decide whether it’s “entirely within” or not. If a Head Referee can’t definitively tell whether a Block is entirely contained within a Control Zone or not, that Block should be considered Scored in the Control Zone. Teams should not be invited into the Field to contribute opinions; this decision is up to the Head Referee.

• Q&A 2789 - The top surface of the Goal is the “tiebreaker” if there’s slight variance in the tape lines
