Re: How can you help GDC make this game better?

Based on reports of refs not noticing dead ball requests from alliances, a simple fix would be to supply one (or more) air horns for an alliance to get the ref's attention. Using the air horn at any time other than to signal a dead ball would be a 50 point penalty. Maybe these could also be used to inform the ref that the pedestal has not been lit when it should be. These could be picked up locally by event coordinators for week 2, and packed in the field cases for following weeks.

Far cheaper and simpler to implement than any electronic or driver station based change.
