This year we need instant replay

[KenWittlief]

If you goto a competition

and you leave feeling your team was cheated in any way

then someone has seriously mis-led you concerning what FIRST is all about

and all the rule clarifications and instant replay cameras will only push you further down a mis-guided path.

Here is sportsmanship: whatever the head ref says, that is the call, that is the end. We all know we will get bad calls, thats part of the game.

The rest is up to you.

How you respond when things dont go your way is the best indication of your character and personality.

But just to make everyone happy (Ive made this offer many times before): if you feel your team was cheated out of a trophy or award, and you cant get over it, send me a PM, and I will make a trophy for you.

Its about 50¢ worth the plastic, and they take about 10 minutes to fabricate :^)
