Also, now only Technical Fouls are able to be questioned. While this streamlines the process, it places a lot of points within the Ref's discretion.
They also removed the post match referee discussion of fouls that used to be a sanity check by having the points immedeatly awarded. The possibility of multiple calls of the same penalty happening concerns me. I want to know what the intent for preventing this will be.
