Tell me about it--one of the Beach'Bot alums was head ref at the SCRRF Preship for two years in a row, and both years he had to make a win-deciding call. (2002 (entaglement) and 2003 (definition of "on" the ramp))
Oh, and the tube over the wall was legal--I hope that's what you called it!

And another fun moment from SCRRF Preship: 2003. One team had a telescoping arm that they would swing out during auto and then take a swipe at the bins. The arm would then be retracted and held in the rest of the match. After multiple cases of ref, MC, and resetters diving for cover, they were told to not use it until it was under control.... See, another reason for going--you can find out your chances of being thrown off the field for a safety violation!
