They all have an affiliation of one sort or another.
It is very hard to get everyone to agree with the same thing. If I may think that it was a right call, you may not. At the same time, keep in mind that all the head refs were not the same for every field at championship. Couple of fields allowed rough play, couple of fields didn't. Thats just how it is. Now when it comes to Einstein the head ref was Aidan Browne, if you didn't know, he is also part of the GDC committee, which means he is one of the people who makes the rules for the game.

At the rate FIRST is growing, it is very hard to keep everyone happy. Championship was last month, it's may now... let's move on to the offseasons, think about which strategies are you going to use to bring the offseason golds home. You guys have an amazing robot and I was privilaged to see it in action in person at the Florida regional and at the Championship event.
