Like some one said we are only Human, we cant see everything at once and we do miss things but teams need to learn and move on. Yes blockading is a tough call to make on the field but when it is called there is a reason behind it. And As to the Ops video post of the match that would be a tough call to make but there is NO way that any video replay would or should over rule a head Refs Final call. And this was in the semis so there was no more of giving teams a break when it comes to fouls.

Mods will close the thread if we don't check our passion at the door of the thread that is as touchy as this, so let's step it down a notch. FIRST is a passionate event, but that does not always warrant fiery discussion that may come off poorly. I can assume you are a referee, and I would not say anyone is going out of your way to tear you or your volunteering kin down. I will say it is good to have a healthy discussion on rule interpretations in the hope that the game evolves properly over the 8 weekends it is in-season, be it rules, strategy, robot execution, and overall event quality. Some of the rules are left up to interpretations the Supreme Court could not easily decide on, but that's how it is.

I hope you weren't meaning to come off as mildly condescending here.
Let's all take a deep breath, read
this, sleep on it, and try again tomorrow.
