There are horror stories every year. People need to stop complaining about it. The refs have a job to do, and they can call it as they see it. That's all there is to it. Granted, a call may not seem justified to those in the stands, but the refs can only do so much. Cut them so slack please, they're just trying to do what they can to keep the competition fair.
Ask Jason M. with FIRST (originally from 254) about how unfair 60 was treated. I really don't want to go into it because its not my place, but when I found out I was appalled.

There were also some instances in both Curie and Galileo playoffs where teams got DQd that should not have. Team 341 got called for an intentional tipping when they were trying to keep 68 off the ramp. It didn't effect them from moving on, but it was just so bogus.

And I agree, the refs work hard. The thing with 60 is just unacceptable though...
