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...
I totally agree with the team 60 problem, it was unacceptable, after talking with them, hearing that the inspection took well over an hour, then a note left in the pit instead of telling them directly what went on then getting DQ'd before they even started auton in the first match, not what we are trying to promote in the first community. Shame, Shame, Shame on whom ever was the ring leader behind that circus.
