1. 3 cautions for false start = 1 point should have been awarded - end of match!
2. FHS & Mont Central coaches were at score table and never left the mat area.
3. Score Keeper (student) recognized that a point should have been awarded.
4. Ref would not admit he (or peers) may have made an error. Stated the student must of made a mistake on bout sheet & disregarded the challenge by FHS Coaches. This is the problem!
Does the TSSAA really think they are better than the olympics? Was this ref, the head ref for the tournament? Did he consult w/ TSSAA before making his 'final' decision? Did he really understand TSSAA rules?
If Carter refuses to recognize both as State Champions - FHS should file a compliant against the official & request change to rules on questioning match scores. TSSAA rules are probably so old, most of them probably don't make sense!
If in doubt, buy the TSSAA tape - see for yourself! You might even contact some FHS or Mont Central parent, they may sell you a copy of their tape cheaper.
