Re: Silicon Valley Regional 2008

The consistency of incorrect enforcement of G14 in SVR-F3 was most certainly a foolish one if it was maintained after a correct interpretation of the rule had been arrived at.

Referees have re-issued match decisions after consultations with the rules before, and this is one of those places where a change would have been appropo, instead of a replay.

No QandA is required on this issue, the plain English of G14 is clear and it should be interpreted correctly at future regionals. I am sure it will be given the attention that has been called to the rule.

With that said, the decisions of the head referee are final.
This is the overriding rule that applies in this case.

I would like to suggest that words like "screwed," "conned," "cheated," etc... , should not be getting used in this discussion. The mistake was an honest one made by volunteers who are doing their best to be fair with the teams and adherent to the rules. We should recognize it as the honest mistake that it was.
