At the Traverse City district event, there were no penalties on HP's stepping outside their designated "box". Either the refs didn't know about this or since there are only 3 refs on the field that they can't watch everything that needs to be watching. I'm HOPING that it is the latter of the two as my biggest gripe about refs is that they KNOW the rules better than they know themselves. I don't like to bad mouth refs as being a ref is very hard to do, but you have to know the rules.

i lost our last qualifing match by missing two super cells. the trailer was touching my airlock but we lost by six points. that cost us our undefeated record. but we held on to our first place rank and went on to win the okc regional. go watch match 61. i'm the one in the upside down green hat. yeah i know. i screwed up. but i drained almost all my super cells in the elimination rounds. we only lost one match in the elimination round.
