No arguments over whether you were in or not, no red flags, you may not touch the tetra until his hand is raised. Assumes that we have a referee at each of the four referee loading stations
As a referee in the "easy to referee" stack attack game, I'm not sure teams could count on timely raising of arms from referees that are pretty worn out after 6 or 8 hours on the field with, if they're lucky, one 20 minute break. Reffing this game is going to challenging in any case, and I don't think tired arms should be added to the referee's job.
