What The Ref?!
augmented FIRST game manuals for referees

What The Ref is not currently planned for the 2025-26 DECODE season due to a lack of interested users and a lack of time to dedicate to the (immense amount of) work necessary to transcribe FIRST's season resources into a machine-friendly format. Sorry for any inconvenience. Various "cheatsheet" PDFs have been circulated on the Referee Slack, and FIRST directly provides an HTML copy of the manual (formatted the same as the PDF copy), which in combination may bridge the gap for you. Please feel free to email me with any concerns, and otherwise, thanks for using What The Ref over the past couple of years!
