you know- this sounds like the kind of thing the FIRST Drivers Union might deal with. Maybe the group should discuss elsewhere what is considered blocking, pushing, pinning and intentional damage/tipping. I always think- could the other guy break off the engagement and get out of the way? Or do we have them at our mercy and take advantage anyway? Then next season the group could come up with guidelines for rough play conduct amongst themselves and clarify with FIRST officials for all of us.

The refs did the best job they could. I witnessed the call. It was valid. Like in sports, once the call is made, good or bad, it is a done deal. We've been DQ'ed at times - including rounds that would have high significance. It happens and you move on.

Hopefully all can remember the good times they had in the games and get past the bad. And, of course, save the competitive spirit for BE4 next year.
