Referees refusing to change score

[budzilla]

It is always tough to keep track of everything going on in an FRC game, but I think the refs are stretched too thin this year. With all the scoring combinations to track and the devastating value of a assessed penalty, I think it's just too much of a ref influenced situation.

An odd call (against us) and possible missed assist (in our favor) marred F1 and F3 of Oregon City. Our alliance ended up winning, but I don't feel good about how things played out. Video reviewing might have cleared things up.

It's a fun game to watch, but why you won or lost was sometimes a mystery. When the overly busy refs are combined with 50 point fouls, it can make for a disappointing day even if you are the winner. I thanked every ref I could and told them I would not want their job.

Just my 1.3 cents worth and looking forward to the Wilsonville district in 2 weeks.
