Obviously GLR '05 is long gone. The ultament outcome of '05 would have prolly stayed the same (Novi, I am proud to be in one of your neigboring towns!!!). The point is that it shouldnt have happened. We were rookies last year and at the time this really dissapointed us.
Just somthing to think about.

:Edit: I recieved a request for the video. I'm not sending it, if i showed who did the foul it would devert attention from the forward-looking point i am trying to make :/edit:

I'm not entirely opposed to that.
Referees do an excellent job, and try their hardest, but they are only human. Look at the positive difference the challenge flag has made in the NFL. I wouldn't be opposed to a similar system--limited challenges, overthrowing point penalties.
I predict, though, rookie--having not read through the rest of the thread--you're about to get flamed big time.
To an extent, FIRST isn't about competition in the traditional sense of the world. It's frowned upon to complain about small things like this, or to care about small point penalties and such. I personally would like to see the change, as I've said. Some people will say its a sign of disrespect to the referees, and that it undermines their intent. Hogwash. NFL referees are still treated with the utmost respect.
Only problem I might be able to see is in time. The competitions already run so long (like, twice as long as an NFL game) as to make a series of 30 second refereeing checks
add up. Remember that some NFL
plays can run as long as half of an individual match!
