Re: Call Inconsistencies Between Regionals
I agree with Brandon. It does not make any sense, in any way, for there to be different rules for different venues. There is one set of rules - that is the one written in the manual.
I think the adult volunteers need to be better trained about the meaning and the reason for the yellow challenge box. Luckily for us, in SVR, we were never kicked out out of the challenge box by any adult volunteer. If that happens, then perhaps this needs to be emphasized with the adult volunteers. |

A problem with aggressive play is it tends to intensify to the point where fouls must be called, but once refs start down the path of "let 'm play", it gets harder for them to draw the line. |

Only the Head Referee can make a team's post-match clarification request "go away". Head Referees I have worked with prefer to interact with pre-college team members who are standing in an area that has been designated (e.g., with tape on the floor) for that purpose. Quote:

I'm assuming that there are some lessons learned being rolled up each week when a regional wraps up. By the time the championship event happens the majority of the issues should be worked out and the refs will have a full body of knowledge. BUT, if a first week regional is run slightly differently than the championship event, is that really a problem? |

If a week one regional is run slightly differently than the championship event, I think that's acceptable. However, we are in week three right now, and I don't think that anything here is very much slightly different - the referees made clear mistakes that are against the rules. I think that any way you look at it, there is a problem with refereeing this year. I posted my suggestions earlier in this thread, and I agree with most of Paul Copioli's suggestions. |

Teams are entitled to get clarification of rulings from the referee in accordance with <T04> and <G53>. This needs to be made clear to all of the field-side volunteers, who should point them to the challenge box. The teams need to use discretion in seeking clarification, no whining about a judgment call, but understanding what action triggered the penalty should be fine. Most certainly, questions about correct application of the rule should be explained. |

Re: Call Inconsistencies Between Regionals
Officially, yes, but sometimes some headstrong field personnel feel like they can usher you away from the box because you're slowing things down. This happened to us once this season, and this same volunteer told me later that we were lucky she didn't tell the judges about the incident, because she felt that our resistance to her demands should exclude us from eligibility for awards. It doesn't surprise me to hear that others are being turned away from the challenge box by people other than the head ref.

Also, it is very hard for an adult my age to be able to get a ref position on the Eastern Seaboard. Most regionals here tend to have some bias in the selections. I have seen numerous well qualified students be passed over for Sponsors, Friends of the VC, or VIPs. I have seen it at NJ, UTC, Philly, and Boston. I have a strong knowledge of how an event should run and the rules for the game (while I certainly don't know the most about it, I can understand the game and have been involved in Reffing offseason events), but I have been passed over before as well as some other high profile CD'ers with a strong knowledge of gameplay. For some, there is no point in even trying because they know they will be passed over if the RPC finds someone who might be interested in sponsoring the event. This may sound very stupid and crazy at first, but it might help. If they were to start an incentives program for Refs (ie, if they make a certain % of correct calls, they get X, and if they don't, that X decreases). It will never happen, but it is certainly an idea. Last edited by Corey Balint : 17-03-2008 at 13:54. |

Its great that the rules tell us the head ref is the only one who can make the post-match clarification go away...however we've seen some rules not called and some called too much on the field....makes sense for the same to occur off the field too Honestly in a rule book world it makes sense. The head ref acknowledges the student, the student tells head ref, head ref explains, student goes away not necessarily happy, but more satisfied with a ruling. Problem is some "Officially-given-to-me-because-I-volunteered-white-FIRST-overdrive-tshirt-wearin'" volunteers have told kids to move on. I saw this specifically at an event this year. Because the score had been announced, and because that alliance had been knocked out of the tournament, the volunteer told said kid to move on, its over now. Outrageous and unacceptable, plain and simple. And a good mannered kid is not going to defy an adult telling them what to do....this is the problem. My point was to get kids INTO the box and INTO conversation with the head ref. If they cannot even do that 100% of the time, whats the point of the box? Quote:

Re: Call Inconsistencies Between Regionals
Ditto, maybe that's why off-seasons tend to be much better staffed and follow the rules better?
