I think for the most part the bad officiating is due to incompetence but with the Riders it is so skewed and there are clear plays where it wasn't incompetence that there is something else going on.

I don't know if it is a league mandate, if the refs are taking a cue from the league office and going with it or the refs see the terrible calls in favor of the Riders and think that must be the way to go but there is no doubt the Riders have a seperate set of rules to help them and that the league has made gross errors to help the Riders, especially in the play-offs.
