I also believe that they should have to take a test AND pass, to be a head ref. While FIRST is all about GP, we want everyone to have a fair game. Somethings are out of our (mentors and students) hands, but should there be error on the human, there should be some sort of replay (not everything, but the major ones).

(this is my opinion only)
What you wrote is exactly what refs have to go through. There is quite a bit of training that goes on for key volunteer positions. There is a test, training, and weekly calls that go on. I agree, Orlando had some tough calls, but remember they are only human and volunteers - they are not getting paid.
