Re: Silicon Valley Regional 2008

A few people have been mentioning that no one caught the partially supported trackball earlier. I saw this twice, once in one of our qualification matches, and the infamous incident in the finals. Immediately after the our qualifying match, i asked a ref (admittedly not the Head Referee) and he said that the partially supported trackball would score. I didn't stay to verify as the field reset team was chivvying us off the field. Needless to say, i was very surprised at the call in the finals. Although the refs should know the rules better, bad calls are a part of every sport, and in the long run it's about half for and against your team. Some are just more high-profile than others.
