Teams running need to make sure that they follow the precedents they set and set the rigth ones. Why does situation a deserve a rematch and situation b doesn't?? Why qualifies "contact with the ramp?" These things need to be explained to the refs before hand and well thought out. Most importantly they cannot be changed mid-stream 3 matches before the finals. That is not an accusation simply a statement.

I'm just gonna emphasize what Colleen said again, and reiterate none of the referees were associated with team 190 or wpi. the closest to such status was Eric as he is a wpi alum, but no one with a current stake in things.
Second, We attempted to play the game in our minds and try to work out the scenarios before hand so we'd know how to call them but there are only so many possibilities that we thought of. This was both good and bad. Everyone was introduced to this game at the exact same time and everyone went through the same process of discovery but the referees weren't seasoned with the benefit of experience.
Modified-Game or not, in the future, we will have full game dress rehearsals to try to flush some of those pesky calls out early.
(and if we do another mod-game, i will push for simpler not more complicated
)
