Re: [FTC]: Samantha? Like it or hate it?
The biggest problem I personally found in how the regional in St. Louis occurred was the determination if a match should replayed. This is nothing against the referees as they were forced to make decisions on the spot in order to make sure the competition continued to run smoothly. This, I feel, is more a problem of the rules.
The referees decided to only replay one match throughout the day. The reasoning for replaying this match was because the referees felt that there had been a "significant" impact to the outcome of the round. The rules need to be rewritten to account for factors such as this to avoid confusion and make it easier for the referees. There were many tempers that were ignited because of this specific round being replayed, while others had not been replayed - a rule would redirect anger away from referees who already have other frustrations pointed in their direction.
