I keep coming back to how hard it is for a ref to call a DQ. There needs to be a lesser penalty that sticks with the team. That is why I offered a card system kind of like soccer where the yellow card is a warning and two add up to a red and dismissal from the game. I've lifeguarded for 3 years now so I get to see how kids work. When you give someone a warning for say dunking another kid and then wait until they do it again to make them sit out they will go to another area of the pool and do it or wait until you rotate stands and rely that the new lifeguard hasn't gave them a warning yet. So that is where making a warning carry over for at least one match, maybe two comes in. Then they can't just take their one warning every match and stay out of trouble. Teams would play less aggressively if they were on the verge of a DQ. Like a basketball player with 4 fouls. So that is where I stand. I think the rules are adequate. I agree a video of bad behavior would be good to be made so ref would no behavior that should get a warning or yellow card. And I more visible system of penalizing where the consequence can follow you to the next round and ref have an easier job of making the tough call should be implemented.
