To take this a step further...

You really shouldn't even be on here questioning calls by referees. I guess though that if you are, an internet forum is the best place. Never know though, those refs might be reading all this.

Trsut me, I've cried many bitter tears over losing matches without ever having been hit.

It all balances out.

I look at my medal collection and think that I would have twice as many if not for bad calls.

Then again, I'd have half as many had I not been given a bunch of bad calls going my way. I've won many matches on forearm Kote, Gogi gone bad inexperienced refs messing up... Did I feel bad about winning that way? Nope. It makes up for the last time I lost that way.

When I ref, the best thing I try to do is call points the way my Sensei taught me and to make sure that the better player on the court that day who scores the clean points wins. Have I ever messed up? Of course I have. Critically on a couple of occasions. However I have been the ref in the finals or semi-finals in any tournament I have gone to in the last decade or so due to my body of work.

So rather than dwell on this, move on and you'll see that something will happen to balance this out.
