Re: Problems with referees?!

We referees had a problem with a large number of team members, mentors, and score keepers being a whole slew of negative adjectives. Almost every time we threw a flag, made a call, or tried to warn people about illegal behavior, we had someone responding rudely and inappropriately. We also had a problem with trying to enforce the rules, trying to stay on schedule, trying to be fair, and trying to keep everyone informed and happy; all with only 4-5 refs(when FIRST recommends 6 as a bare minimum) and without any breaks except for lunch.
</complaining>

Referees are just volunteers. I’m sure that whoever you are talking about was just trying to do their job, and a couple other people’s jobs at the same time. They were probably trying to warn you about something you were doing wrong, while being under a lot of stress and trying to keep their eyes on all the other things they were supposed to be watching. It may have come off rude, but I’m sure that wasn’t their intention.

BTW: According to the rules, all the refs’ decisions are final. Be glad we weren’t being as strict as we could have been.
