I have volunteered to be a referee at the Championship this year, and while it will be my first time as a referee, I can say this. I will do my very best to make the correct decisions, but I can't guarantee that I won't make a mistake or make a call that some people might question. There are a number of situations, tipped robots being one of them, where it is not easy to say if something was intentional. There are no instant replays in FIRST, even for counting scores, and scores have been counted incorrectly a few times over the years. The people working as referees and most other positions do not get paid, but we will be spending two long days with few breaks, and will have a training session on Thursday. We will do the best we can. I have been on FIRST teams for eight years and have enjoyed it and think it worthwhile. Otherwise I wouldn't be spending my own money to go to Houston and wouldn't volunteer several hours of my time to help with the event when I could go on a cruise and take it easy for less money.

Have a good Championship, everyone, and rest assured the people running the event will be doing their best.

The views I express here are mine, and mine alone, not those of my team, FIRST, or my previous teams.
