Re: Call Inconsistencies Between Regionals

In looking at all of this an idea occurred to me.

What about taking another page from the new rulebook of sports.

The challenge flag... Each team would be allowed one per event.
Throw it for little things.... waste it....
Save it for something really important.... perhaps a change that would make a difference in a match score and tip the scales...

Perhaps use it as a third tie breaker for qualifications...

Perhaps, Each alliance would have one (only one) of these for the elimination rounds.

Of course this would not be used this year.... just something to kick around for next year...

I applaud the referees for the work they have done this year....
This is an extremely difficult game to referee compared to many others we have played.

thanks
Have a great year!!!
