"As I'll explain later, the person you question pursued every possible option to see if there was justification for us to CHANGE our decision. Please note that during the playoffs, especially the championship match, tensions and everything is "on-the-line", but we cannot simply stop making penalty calls, especially when it comes to safety."

This is 100% true. The FIRST officials attempted everything in their power to see that things were given a fair judgement. In the time they attempted to review the call, they could not come up with anything. They tried, but you can't take a day to review a call. The next match had to be played. There was continued discussion about that call but it came down to the fact that no one could find anything against the origional ruling and 254 and their alliance had won two matches.

I gaurentee you, from someone who would have loved to see my team win the regional, that all those involved tried their hardest to eliminate the question behind the ruling, either for or against it so that there wouldn't be any issues.
