So, someone who volunteers to ref a world championship event attended by hundreds of teams from around the world, all paying thousands of dollars to register (IE excluded), plus thousands of dollars to travel to the event, shouldn't expect public discussion of their mistake?

I agree that the volunteers are doing an amazing job 99% of the time. A higher percent than me! But when you put yourself in a position of power, you have to expect some dissent and criticism.

There were 8 divisions with about 125 matches each, plus elimination rounds and then Einsteins. And only a handful of questionable calls that may have swayed alliance selection. All in all, a fantastic feat. And one worthy of congratulations.

But immune from gripes? Never gonna happen.
