Re: Improving Officiating at FIRST Events
Just another thing to add on to the pile...
I saw a Ref at Boston, during a match (not in between matches, which some refs do which I am more okay with but still don't completely agree with), take out his cell phone and text someone on numerous occasions. I started taking note of that same ref, and noticed that he/she was paying attention to the wrong area most of the time, which nearly got him/herself killed on numerous occasions.
This ref did happen to fall under the "Friend of the VC" category. Although, I do know that Boston was short staffed on refs and tried to get anyone to ref.
Put that on to the plethora of bad calls he/she made...it was one of the worst ref jobs I have ever seen.
The rest of the ref crew did happen to be great though. It was one of the best ones I have seen, besides the aforementioned.

I guess this means we have to work on becoming super-flexible and always be ready for our close-ups at robotics from now on? - Beth Sweet [more]
