In comparison to other competitive events if Mother Theresa had a team competing in the Super Bowl and was put in charge of hiring the officiating crew and her team won on a controversial call I believe there would be cause to question the outcome. That would not be saying that Mother Theresa or her family were bad people just that there was potential for bias which could have determined the outcome.

Huh, didn't realize your thought process could get more outlandish, but I guess I was wrong.
Based on your logic, almost every single event in FIRST is rigged. BMR is managed by Purdue FIRST alumni, and there are Purdue teams that compete. MSC is managed by more than a few elite team mentors and their teams compete there. At the event that I was at this weekend, the Rookie All Star team also was on the winning alliance and was top seeded rookie and their sponsor university was the host.
What you are describing, elite teams who manage events, is not corruption but teams being role models for other teams. See, managing an event is difficult. Managing a team is difficult. Combine those two things together and you have one heck of a stressful weekend.
I suggest you volunteer for an event, so you learn how exhausting it is, and how amazing event and volunteer coordinators are.
The facts are this:
There is a proper protocol to go through if a team questions the outcome of a match, that protocol does NOT include slander on CD.
Refs huddle up after matches, especially during the finals, to make sure they get the calls correct.
The Novak's are one of the absolute nicest families in FIRST.
You are wrong.
