Our semi-final tiebreaker at the district championship seemed to have the red card called on 1425 for tipping our alliance partner 2522, and then after the match the call was reversed. Without the third robot, we couldn't capture, and we lost the match based on points, and got knocked out. Consistency is the only thing I would ask for, so we know how to play, what to look out for, and what to expect the outcome to be.

I agree wholeheartedly. Consistency would go a long way toward managing expectations.
