It stuns me to find out that the KC regional refs made such a huge mistake. The GDC expects every team to be responsible for knowing the rules, even the rookie teams that get punished at the events for not knowing the rules completely (or even really knowing that they should know them.) As a referee for the game, I'd expect you to have 100% knowledge of every game rule and every Q&A thread relating to the game. Anything less than that detracts from the game and causes unnecessary harm to teams.

Also, I noticed a number of times at the NJ regional that mid-station HP's threw empty cells over the wall without being penalized because no refs saw it happen. In my opinion, this game is hard to follow as an observer and seems even harder to regulate and score. In the future, I hope the GDC will see how a game like this comes out in the end and avoids the problems we have seen this year.

(No hard feelings to refs, especially in the FIRST week. You didn't know how the game was going to come out before this past weekend either, but to decide a whole regional on an assumption of a rule that has already been answered by the Q&A? The Q&A is sorted by category...at least lead the part that pertains to your job at the event...)
