I was utterly disgusted with the refereeing at that competition. Between not counting hurdles and calling very debatable <G22>s, our team was beset by constant headaches due to the referees.

Note that the head ref at Davis was the same ref that went into round four at SVR.

I think the head ref did fine, every time I had a question about the rules through SVR and Davis Andy would always answer the question exactly to the rule.

On the other hand there was a couple times where I would be standing behind our drivers see a team pull around FULL SPEED into our drivers station then go over a line backwards and NO PENALTY, no g22, no ramming, nothing. I look up to see the ref who's supposed to be watching our area looking across the field.

On the other hand I liked the MC and the Announcer, I think this was the first time doing mc or announcer for them.
