Re: Call Inconsistencies Between Regionals
The problem is that many teams were challenging the <G14> ruling at SVR and they were consistently sending the student players away by saying that that was the referees call by their interpretation of the rules. You asking quite a lot out of a student player to have them sit there and protest a call until the referees change their mind about a ruling when everyone around them is trying to keep the elimination matches going and usher them off the field. My only thought about this is that some one should should have got a clue that something was wrong with this "ruling" after many teams were challenging the same thing. It seems odd that it would have taken until the the third match of the finals to figure this out.
Our alliance captain for QF1-2 challenged the same call affecting a 12 point bonus. I would have been a lot to ask of her to protest the call until it was right after she was told the reason for the call, which she graciously disagreed with, the scores had been announced and the victor of the quaterfinal matches had already been proclaimed. I am not saying that the outcome of the quarterfinal match-up would have changed but, it would have been nice to get it right. I also believe that a team in the SF1 matches also protested the same call.
