Re: Extreme disappointment Philadelphia edition
The most pitiful thing about this call is it seems that nobody knows for sure what it was for. Some seem to think it was intentional tipping, others say it was hitting high, and yet others believe it was for "excessive rough play."

I was the 293-358-834 alliance captain, and you better believe that when I went to express my displeasure to the head ref I asked what the call was for. He told me it was on 358 for intentionally tipping 56. When we talk about "excessive rough play," we are referring to the act of tipping 56 over. There was NO high hitting going on. If you think there was, you should disabuse yourself of that notion.

Do you all know why we are having a dispute over what the call was for? Because the head ref did not do a very good job explaining his decisions. If you went out to ask him to explain his interpretation of the rules, he conveyed an attitude of displeasure and impatience. When you did get an explanation out of him, it usually didn't make sense. You left with more questions than you had answers.
