Anyway...I can say that our team also had a match with a ref error.
It happened in the Human Player loading zone. We were clearly on the Pad and the other side backed right into us as they moved away from our goal. It looked like a 30pointer to me (I our favour)...but no penalty was awarded. Go figure!

This isn't a thread to tell everyone that you got penalties you didn't deserve.
Please keep on topic.

Well I would've put it in a more polite manner than that.

Definitly the penalties, if you got one of the wopping 30 point penalties then you PROBABLY had a good chance of losing.

I found that you need to find a balance with the team. This was the first year we brought back our team and it was unspeakablily hard to do school, X-C and run a full time "Circus" the hardest thing was trying to find what everyone was good at. everyone wanted to be on the computers, and in return we finished as the truck was pulling up. Our team offically had 30 people on it but there we really only 5 people who decided to do the work.
If anyone has suggestions about organizing the team so that it will function on its own, without mentor or a single person handling it. I am will ing to listen.
