Re: It could happen to you (but we hope not)

I think it is safe to say that this year's game is a lot crazier than in the past. I honestly wish that, FIRST would have head refs that knew the rules inside out. Like have a training for a month before they are allowed to become one. I don't know all that is required to become head ref, but we had some really really tough calls at Orlando regional.

I also believe that they should have to take a test AND pass, to be a head ref. While FIRST is all about GP, we want everyone to have a fair game. Somethings are out of our (mentors and students) hands, but should there be error on the human, there should be some sort of replay (not everything, but the major ones).

(this is my opinion only)
