Re: 08 Colorado Controversy
After having attended the Colorado regional since it started I will say that the reffing every years brings certain question of competence to my mind. In 2005 they kept changing several of the rules regarding loading a tetra from the human loading zone and then after making a decision didn't really ref it the same way each time. We thought about arguing several times but eventually decided we where having too much fun to care. This isn't an isolated incident for the Colorado regional but I have never found it to adversely affect my enjoyment of the regional even when it very directly affected my team and would like to thank the refs for as good a job as they do since it is far better than I might expect.

Frankly this year I saw many instances where the G22 rule wasn't called however I never saw it such that it would have effected the outcome of the match. Other than the Colorado regional I have only attended one other event (that being the 2004 championships) so I can't say how this compares to other regionals but I can't imagine it being much different.
