I can understand a few mistakes in a game but when they miss something obvious repeatedly and call it differently from regional-to-regional and division-to-division, I think someone has to take responsibility. To me being a referee is a huge responsibility and a huge honor. With great power comes great responsibility.
I usually do not like posting these things because CD doesnt take criticism too well. However, I hope next year is a better year.

From the 'tone' of your response, I don't believe you are looking for
responsibility, but instead someone to
blame.
We should not 'Bash' the refs for any bad calls, but instead talk to them (calmly amd politely) when the match is over, letting them know our point of view. Bashing them here on CD is poor form.
To relate this to professional baseball, Different umpires will call different strike zones. A pitcher has to adjust his game to the different strike zone even though the rules are explicit as to what a strike zone is.
Lets not play the '
blame' game. Lets congratulate the referees for all the calls that they got correct, because it is that difficult to be a referee.
