Re: Regional-specific rules, etc., and do the referees read the rules?
If I were to quiz many of the participants at a regional on the rules of the game OR the robot rules, I would bet that most would fail to get 75% or better. Remember that these refs are volunteers and do their best. Most of them do not spend 6 weeks working on robots or studying the rules as do many of us. All we can do is encourage and try to educate in a constructive way. I have found that most refs when shown the correct rules are happy to adapt. The time to approach them is not after you play and feel wronged, but before or after the days play or maybe at lunch if they have time.
