During recent APFT push up event, I did 12 push ups, all counted by the scorer (SGT) but told to stop when the 1SG who was walking around yelled out, "no,no,no." During retry, I did 20 something push ups, all counted by the scorer, but 1SG returns and interferes. Then the NCOIC also joins, yelling my push ups are not good while recording me with her phone. What's wrong with this pic? FM-21-20.CH14

CPT (Join to see) They should have certified that the graders knew what the hell they were doing. When I was a 1SG and PSG we certified our graders.

The Event Supervisor should have prevented that.

If you are going to refute this with the chain of command, do not mention FM 21-20, that was replaced by TC 3-22.20 in 2010, which was replaced by FM 7-22 in 2012, which is now the current book. However, if they were using a DA 705 that cites FM 21-20, or reading directly from FM 21-20, they were in the wrong. How to do a push up has not changed throughout the updates, but using an outdated reg is never the right answer.
