I'm just a FIRST rookie, but considering how enthusiastic most FIRST teams are, I feel that I have a pretty good idea about FIRST. I'm sure everyone would agree that the atmoshpere that you feel at a regional event is completely amazing- there's trust and respect all around and there are amazing volunteers who just want to see high school students play with robots. =)

Which is why, even though I'm just a rookie, I can't BELIEVE I'm having to tell you this...but...

We actually had a problem with a referee being a whole slew of negative adjectives (impolite, confrontational, disrespectful) to our team.

We're trying to contact someone about the problem we encountered and were wondering if anyone on Delphi knew who would be best to talk to. PM me with suggestions. (How can I find contact info for regional event directors? Who's in charge of the refs? Who do you think would be the best person to contact? Stuff like that.)

Has anyone else had problems like this? I thought it was completely unheard of, and our whole team is really upset about it.
My advice is to let it go! Most every FIRST volunteer is a rookie too, and are doing their level best.

We are rookies also. I cringe whenever one of mine sucumbs to the pressure and acts out of character; but I understand how that could happen. I advise you to do the same.
