sit b) how about being told that my player was called for a block because he was stepping back and wasnt set

Sit B) He isn't set - (doesn't have position?), moving backward? Sounds like the block was the easy call - maybe the T for the flop was what you thought was more appropriate?

Perhaps you should review what is required to draw a charge.

A player that is backing up (away from the opponent) should never be called for a block unless that opponent was airborne before getting into their path. There is absolutly nothing in any rulebook about being set...all that is required to gain LGP is face the opponent, in the path, and two feet on the floor at some point. If a player is backpeddling, there will be two feet down on nearly every step. You either have a charge or nothing.
