I think that in LA the head ref, Curtis, did a great job explaining rules to teams, and dealing with a constant barrage of team challenges (often for miscounting, almost all of which ended up being the team simply not reading the rules). One instance Curtis didn't know the proper ruling, so he called up Aidan to get a ruling. I thought that was pretty cool. He also did a call with Aidan after Friday to go over questions in rulings, which he announced on Saturday.
The referee test and training materials cannot be released to the public, as it may give the perception of an unfair advantage to some teams.

NO, they were saying shooting there (no matter how it was in the air, just the act of releasing in the quadrant) was illegal and was not scorable. I know that you have to be OVER your lane marker and over your finish like etc., but I have seen RUSH and other teams do this and we did this too in a previous regional. I think this inconsistency in a MAJOR department of scoring is unacceptable.
