Re: Notifying teams of yellow/red cards
I was a Ref in Duluth and we had some matches that had over 5 penalties, and it seemed like there were only a couple of handfuls of penalty free matches. The head Ref had to tabulate the penalties (with the correct rule number, G12, G32...), give them to the announcer so they could be read off to the stands, and then run over to the station and show the yellow/red cards. The field reset had to happen real quick with all of the tubes having to get back into place. So I could see why teams would not know if they got a yellow/red card. If you see the Ref's huddling up, there is most likely some penalties being called.
If there is ever a question about a ruling on the field, go to the question box. I know I tried to keep an eye open to see if anyone was standing there and send someone over in a timely manner. The head Ref in Duluth was more than willing to answer any questions you may have.
