Here is the only thing I am going to say the officials are doing wrong. They are letting some kids and coaches get away with poor behavior throughout the year, and then don't want to put up with it at the end of the year. Like my daddy alwasy said it is easier to be an a-hole and ease up than to be easy and then have to be an a-hole.
Consisteny is the key....Do it the same way the whole year.
