Re: Referee/Volunteer Screening?

Our team had a similar situation at Chesapeake. One of our current members was a referee at the event.

There was a match in which a wheel on our robot ended up going over the border of the field. It is simply physically impossible for it to touch the carpet. Anyhow, the referee in question disabled our machine. Because it would be questionable whether this person gave us special curcumstances, I think this person was very conservative with the rulings this ref made.

Thats the unfortunate situation when a current member or previous member of your team refs your regional. All the border line calls, MUST go against your team or everyone else might think their is favoritism.
