Re: A better way to handle fouls?

A slight clarification to my intent. The ref would make the decision on whether foul is valid per the rules, as they do now. If a team challenges the ruling; both the ref and the opponent have the ability to reverse (or lessen) the penalty.

If the ref called a technical foul against red for consequential contact, and red chose to challenge, blue would be given the opportunity to agree with red, and overturn or reduce the penalty points granted to blue.

Simply giving the team who benefits from the call the opportunity to overturn/reduce it if they see it as unfair to their opponent.

What do you think of using a system like that? Where both sides had to approve the final score of a match?
It sounds like another interesting system, although it seems more geared towards teaching the kids the rules and scoring rather than giving an opportunity to challenge and/or overturn them; I guess it would depend on the implementation.
