Then last years 10 point penalties, which I'll admit did make sense from a safety standpoint. But a little bit less this year than last year. Maybe the penalty system should be toned down a little bit, or maybe the game should be designed in a way such that penalties don't need to be given for safety reasons. Who am I to judge though, all I do is ref them and enjoy building. Just a bit of insight relative to older games of FIRST past.

Yes a warning is good..the refs can say what they expect...also consistently calling the penalities is fair.
