If I were in a situation where I made a wrong call that effected match outcomes and I had the ability to escalate the issue just to talk about it, I would explore the opportunity and at least provide some closure for teams.
This whole event felt like FTC was the red-head-step-child of FIRST, or that we were on the back-burner. I'm not surprised anymore by FIRST acting this way. Its been multiple things that have created this. I really would like to see FTC have someone like Frank that sees what's happening to the teams, and tries to fix it. Our coaches have been very annoyed at how FTC was run this year, along with being at a different location. The whole event this year felt like another Super Regional to us. This year has been, by far the worse setup that FIRST has done with FTC.

(I understand cant complain to much though, as we were part of the Winning alliance.)
