Re: FIM Flagged Penalty NOT recorded costs us a Finals Opportunity

Look at Colorado 2014, SF 2-1. I was part of the team that was seated #2 overall, In this match the referees' came over and flagged the pinning foul twice. And logged it in the system, it was on the screen in the middle of the match. When it disappeared in the final score we were thoroughly confused and upset. But after looking back on it we realized that there really shouldn't have been a foul. Not saying this is the same situation but it does happen were fouls are called and then changed after the fact, or there not called.

What I have come to realize is that the refs are human beings and mistakes do happen. There is nothing that we can do to change them and expending tremendous amounts of effort, such as starting a thread on chief Delphi. Do we wish that the situation would have been different yes. Realistically can we do anything about it, no. While I sympathize I hope that one day you can get passed this and focus on your next event.
