Re: Solution for uniform ramming penalty calls
In order to end the ramming debate, forever, one of two things must happen.

1. We play Xv0. (And people will complain about how boring it is)

2. There are NO contact penalties. (And people complain about how they got got beat up)

Regarding an electronic solution, I'd be against it. It seems like there would be too many "what-ifs", or people complaining about how it didn't work correctly. I'd much rather leave things in the hands of an experienced ref crew. There should be enough refs that stick around, so that every regional can have an experienced crew. At BAE, no ref had less than 3 years of FRC reffereeing experience. Things were uniform and fair. Why is that so hard to replicate across the country? (Not the 3 years, the uniform and fair)
