I think FIRST should require all referees and other volunteers that could alter gameplay take a test on the rules of the game, and be forced to pass. Passing would be an 80%. Less than that would be failing, and would mean rejection.

Definitions need to be clear cut, so all the team lawyers can't whine about things, and what exactly rules mean.

Things like "intentional damage" need to be clarified. (cough mid-atlantic regional cough)

If refs do not apply the same version of the rules to all teams, they should be called on it. Personally, I think it's lame that "intentional damage" at one regional translates to "hitting a robot that is disabled, even if no damage is done" or "having the 'intent' to do damage" while at another regional, it is only called if real damage is done. The refs should be penalized for blatantly bad calls.

FIRST officials should read this forum and take some of our advise - it would spare them a lot of grief.
