I'm getting so sick of all these invented excuses to give out Red Cards. Flipping is not an automatic red card, refs need to read the manual like the rest of us are expected to.

Violation: FOUL and YELLOW CARD. If harm or incapacitation occurs as a result of the strategy, RED CARD

Initiating delberate or damaging contact with an opponent ROBOT on or inside the vertical extension of its FRAME PERIMETER is not allowed.
Being a ref is hard enough. As a first year ref, and considering becoming a regular Referee (at least, until I can break onto the Game Announcer / MC field), it's posts like that, that make me a little terrified of the job.
