Re: The Fraud of FTC Worlds - How FTC & FIRST have failed me forever.

From my perspective, far removed both in space and time from the event, it seems clear to me that replaying the match would have been the wrong thing to do. If the referee did not think that the call was wrong, there was no justification for a replay. Any number of teams wanting a do-over doesn't count. On the other hand, if the referee did agree that the call was wrong, all that needed to be done was to correct the call and adjust the score accordingly.

Asking for the call to be changed based on the collective viewpoints of all the teams seems appropriate. However, if the teams approached the ref with a request for a replay, they were doing the wrong thing.
