We're going to write a letter to FIRST to complain about how the refs can inadvertently carry one alliance to victory over another. The game this year had the potential to be great (I was very excited at kickoff) but between penalties and the referees, it turned into one big headache.

Despite my complaining and outright anger, the matches we played were honest-to-goodness fun. We all had a great time. Congratulations to all teams.

I wouldn't blame the refs so much as the game itself. Remember that many of these refs have been reff-ing for many years. We never saw problems of this magnitude in 2006 or 2007.

As for the MC I thought he was... strange? Hilarious? lol . Some of his catch phrases:

"And now for 2 minutes of unadulterated fun and enthusiasm!"
"And now for 2 minutes of unbridled fun and excitement!"
"The zebras are huddling…"
