Of course it doesnt, all I did was ask a question
and I agreed with and supported my friend who was in the Trail and made the appropriate call. The crew chief knew it was the appropriate call by rule and he had no issue with the Trail who called it. On the ride home they discussed it and the trail did express that he felt like A6 wasn't trying to get away with anything, that the kid was just being dumb. The game management on the table (with scoring reps from both teams) saw him do it and 1/3 reffs saw it so there was no way he would get away with it.
all that being said, A6 pretty much ended the game when he touched the arrow and the crew felt bad about the situation but they did not feel bad about the ruling. A6 is the goat and team B went from just getting the ball up by 3 with 1min and change left to up by 5 with the ball and still retaining the arrow.
