Amen,
This issue is no longer whether rules were violated. It is (as Mel had said above me) how the teams handle the loss. Over the past few years there have been rules which are not totally clear. Most teams (including 176) feel that they may have lost a competition due to ref or field error at one point or another. There is absolutely nothing you do about what happened. If anything you are just making it worse.
Just recently we had someone sign up as a member to our forum and spam it saying that we suck. This is not what FIRST is about. Keep in mind when arguing about the rules that no matter how much you complain nothing will happen. Keep in mind FIRST's motto "Gracious Professionalism".
I am not saying it is not ok to argue your point, just please keep it professional. Remember your grandmother could be watching
