Re: Problems with referees?!

The ref needs to set the tone when there is a discussion over an issue. They are not the person who just spent 2 months on a robot that had an unfortuneate call against it. While I don't condone unreasonable attitudes on the part of the teams, it is understandable that a person on a team would be quite upset about a call.

So, the ref has to understand that people may not be happy with their call. However, they just have to call things the best they can. They really need to "set the tone" with how strict certain things are going to be called. Most importantly, they need to be consistent.
