I do miss the referee hand signals we had last year that indicated what the foul was for as it was being called. I'm sure the drive team never had a chance to watch the referee's, but the scouts in the stands found it useful. (Of course some referee's were very confident in displaying those signals and making a call while others were barely discernible.)

Some announcers after each match do take the time to announce the fouls, and early in the tournament explain why the foul was called. This seems to be very inconsistent depending on what information the head ref passes along and how much time there is before the next match once the final score has been released. Since we are trying to get the general public to view this as a spectator event I would much rather have the announcer say "illegal contact with the opponents pyramid resulting in a 20 point technical foul and full climb points awarded" than just G27. I don't expect the general public to memorize rule numbers.

In most spectator sports they call out the jersey number of the offending player, not just the team the foul is against. I'm all for finding a better way to inform teams and spectators in real time. They often affect the score more than offensive scoring.
