I was doing the video at IRI, and I personally liked the red and yellow card system. It was nice because the infraction was always explained in detail withat it was the team did to deserve it. The yellow card system just seemed to me to be a friendly reminder that whatever move isn't appropriate and please don't do it again. It was gracious, and it certainly helped the crowd understand what happened. Not to mention us video geeks who were busy running the switcher and didn't always take in what happened in the matches.
