Re: Some thoughts on rules, refs, and ranking

I'm not going to comment on the ref's call but I will make a couple points.

#1 There is no way that FIRST can allow video reviews of matches. The NFL spends millions of dollars on equipment and gives the head refs many different angles to review a call and they still don;t always get it right. There is just no way for FIRST to implement a fair replay system, period.

#2 Your info lists you as a alumni. Only students are allowed to question the head ref, the head ref is not even required to talk with you at all. You are lucky he gave you the courtesy of disusing it with you.
