just wanted to point out to the stewards that they need to be consistant about applying the rules.

Each Steward is an individual and interprets rules and the GCR differently. That is why you can protest one of the Stewards and it goes to the SOM, which is comprised of multiple Stewards. If you had two different Chief Stewards for these two events, you may have different opinions.

This is why we have the protest/appeal process -- It is not perfect, but it is better than some. (see post about NASA's penalty on a different thread).
