I would like to clarify that the Refs of the SCRRF have no hard feelings toward team 992. They just need to realize that had their mentors and students acted that was towards the refs they most likely would have been DQd for those actions. I know in the heat of competetion that sometimes tempers get high, and some people become irritated. I would encourage everyone to keep their cool. It may be hard, but it will all work out in the end.
ALL ROOKIE TEAMS: Please make sure that you dont let your students approach the refs. Even if they do make a mistake, their rulings are final and they can't change them. Arguing will only serve to make the refs aware that your team may indeed have an attitude problem.
Finally, FIRST is a learning experience, Gracious Professionalism is not something learned overnight, however, if we all work with the FIRST officials everything will run smoothly at the regionals.
