Case in Cobb county years ago. Georgia game to go to playoffs. 4th down and 20 or something. Defense is called for roughing punter. (Should been automatic first down/I don't do football.) Officials gave yardage but no first down. End of game when it happened. Other team gets ball and kicks field goal to win. If zebras don't screw up rule other team runs out clock and wins. Johhnys mom sues. Case tossed out of Court.
Jeff will know more about it but there was a rule screw up or something that if not made a different team would have played for State title here this past season. Court threw it out.
Court will not get involved in correcting this stuff.
Referees don't lose cases. Referees aren't being sued.
