I'm assuming that there are some lessons learned being rolled up each week when a regional wraps up. By the time the championship event happens the majority of the issues should be worked out and the refs will have a full body of knowledge. BUT, if a first week regional is run slightly differently than the championship event, is that really a problem?

You wouldn't expect it, and neither would I, but, at the end of the day, that's what happened.
If a week one regional is run slightly differently than the championship event, I think that's acceptable. However, we are in week three right now, and I don't think that anything here is very much slightly different - the referees made clear mistakes that are against the rules.
I think that any way you look at it, there is a problem with refereeing this year. I posted my suggestions earlier in this thread, and I agree with most of Paul Copioli's suggestions.
