The refs at KSC were pretty much the same as the ones you talk about.
But we ran into two problems one was a team should of been DQ for ripping the rug. the ref said it didn't matter because we won anyways. We got a 0 score because they did not score any points. But it was only me that talk to the ref and once he gave me the answer I said thank you and moved on.
The second one was we clearly won the match but they score the match wrong. My team wanted to run up and yell at the ref but I sent them to the pits and I took The mentor from the other team with me to the head ref and stated our case. they reviewed the match and saw we did win and it was a error on there part so they changed it. we did not yell we asked nicely and we kept the highly angry students away. I think by doing this the refs do listen and if they tell you something that you don't like bite your lip and move on. that is the beast of competiting.
The ref do have a hard time with this. and it could cost you the regional or the national win. But it will show more to the students how you react. If you know you should of won then so be it. the kids feel better if you explain it ot them and you can move on. But if you get mad and blame the refs and everybody goes away mad and not wanting to play again.
So talk to the Refs and explain to them what you want in a very short statement. and when they give you a answer just say thank you and move on to the next match.
