First off as a former competitor at the World Championship level of FTC I'd like to say sorry about what happened to you. Secondly you've got to take some of the advice of the others above. Realize this, FIRST and FTC are not professional events and that the refs are not paid and extensively trained like other sports events. Things like this can happen with volunteer staff. You've really got to take a step back and think about that. I know that's not the first thing on your mind when stuff like this happens, BUT I really do see some things that could be good come from this. I think first implementing their own video replay system might need to become more of an idea as it would greatly assist in ensuring errors like this don't occur in the future.
