I think we were the poster child of questionable rules and calls last year, they even changed the rules at championships because of what happened to us.
After words I consoled my team and praised them on what a great job they did, then I found the head ref and complimented him on doing a good job and making a tough call. I didn't come on CD and complain about the refs and unfairness of it all.
BTW If you/we hadn't lost one of the other matches in the first place a questionable call couldn't have hurt us. Can't blame anyone else but you/us for that.

I definitely consoled my team as well. We found solace in the Industrial Design award. We're fine. I just wanted to hear the community's opinion on the matter. I'm sorry if I seemed to be whining.
The fact that teams should account for bad calls is unacceptable. That's comparable to NASA having to account for changes in the laws of physics.
I'm not saying that video proof would be the end all of a dispute. I just want it to be used. Period. The fact that it's being completely ignored bothers me tremendously.
