My Intent...
The intent of this thread was not to referee bash. It was not to bash any of the hard working members of team 190 either. Battlecry was an excelent competition which fell victim to contraversy. When you have contraversial plays, contraversial calls, contraversial reactions, the result can be a very negative thing for a competition. You are right, this is just a game, this isn't about winning or losing. But when I see things like what happened yesterday, with everyone getting all upset, booing, and so forth, there are no winners...and what should have been seen as one of the best competitions of the year, left an empty feeling for some people. The purpose of this thread was not to create more contraversy, or continue it. The purpose of this thread is to try to prepare those who will be organizing competitions this year for what could be a growing and very headachy problem.
For the sake of FIRST and everyone's sanity, I ask anyone who replys to this thread not to referee bash, team bash, or individual bash. Lets try our best to be constructive about this, or else this thread is just going to be locked anyway.
Also, if my original post came off as if it were bashing the refs, 190, or anyone else...please accept my appology.
Thank you,
Andy Grady
