Re: Regional-specific rules, etc., and do the referees read the rules?

This may or may not be a good solution, but next year FIRST should have the head refs and as many other refs as possible take a quiz on the rules or ref book (if there is one). Alternative: have an animation of a tough call. Have the refs watch it and make the call. Reveal the answer (if there is one) and why to the refs, or relase that situation and how it will be called to the teams in an update if there is no "right" answer. Above all, make sure the refs understand the rules so they can do their job well and fairly.
