Being a volunteer isn't an excuse to be bad at your job.

When a ref gets a call wrong, why should all the repercussion be placed on teams? Their season could be over, and they won't hear so much as a "oh sorry, I made a mistake" in response. The goal is inspiration and volunteers are obviously working towards that but FRC is a competition. The inspiration happens because it is a competition. When you mess up on the competitive aspects, you mess up the inspiration.

A couple of choice quotes from the past six years:

"I did get the call wrong, but I didn't want to waste time replaying the match."

"Technically [the team that drove into your frame perimeter] should have gotten a red card, and they did break parts of your robot, but I don't think it would have mattered."

And totally rude behavior towards anyone in the question box.
