I think you did or you wouldn't have posted it.

Anyway, there were two people in ref shirts at each corner - a referee and a scorekeeper. Even though the scorekeeper couldn't technically make calls, he was still supposed to watch for infractions along with the referee.

This means you usually had two people watching each corner goal during the matches. Even if a referee turned away for "several seconds" you still had one person watching the goals. I was a scorekeeper, and everytime a robot came even close to the goal I was ready to check for incursion penalties.

My point is, the job done by the referees and scorekeepers at Boilermaker Regional was top notch. I am fully willing to explain or answer to any claims or questions about the Boilermaker Regional.

You don't know the intent of what Alan posted, so you can't really say you think you do after he posted that was NOT his intent.

I suggest this thread be closed.

There was no complaint that I see to begin with, he merely pointed out what HE saw and ASKED what others saw. If you want to interpret that as something else, go ahead. I know Alan, tell me I'm biased for being on his team, but don't think you know everyone's intent just because they posted a question. I could make mention of a few things I thought were odd that a ref did or didn't do, but due to how I see people getting jumped on, I just won't.

It's a moot point. But I sincerely thank all the volunteers and refs for an outstanding job at this year's regional.
