Also, one thing with FRC that is different than traditional sports is that the game changes every year. Let that sink in for a moment. In traditional sports, let's say, soccer for example, the game never changes. Albeit maybe a few minor rules (I know the offside rule changes frequently) but nowhere near the frequency that new FRC games get introduced. This essentially means that at this time in the season (week 2), any FRC referee can only have 2-3 months of experience and by champs they could have 4-5 months (maybe) of referee experience, whereas traditional sports referees have 20 to 30 years playing the game with only minor variations.

May I add that FRC games are WAY more complicated than traditional sports games. I could argue this but I do not have the energy nor the full keyboard to use.
