Call Inconsistencies Between Regionals

This is not good thinking in my eyes.

At some point in time all these teams are coming together for this thing called the championship event. What would it be like if on curie they scored all the balls on the overpass as per <G14>, but on archimedes they scored them as per how the refs scored them for a good chunk of time at SVR ?

Well when you get to einstein and the refs are calling it as per <G14>, those archimedes teams are going to be playing a slightly different game.

It just doesn't make sense to have 41 different variations of the game being played in 41 different venues.
