Everything was being called accurately. Granted, I wasn't watching Human players, I was watching robots.

At the NJ Regional The Majority of the calls were:
Off Sides
At the NJ Regional there were Team DQ's but I do not remember on what basis
At the NJ Regional due to a very buggy scoring system and faulty IFI Equipment close to 7 matches were replayed b/c teams felt they were cheated out of who won the autonomous mode, not to mention the time between the autonomous mode to switch to the second portion of the match (probably like 15 seconds or so). If the scorers started the match the Arena Controllers would not get the signal that the match has started. During the Finals the Final Score would be tallied up as let say blue 25 red 35 but for the final score it would say blue 25 red 0 even though there was no penalties thrown.
As you can see we are just into the 1st week of regionals going on to our 2nd set of regionals and many of these issues will probably not get resolved till nationals. The refs can only do so much with what they have to work with. I believe the Refs at the NJ Regional did an outstanding job including head ref Sky. I hope they all return next year because they made this regional Fun, Fair for everyone. My hats off to these guys.
