But i thought they should have been disabled there and then, and if not that the should have still got a penalty. I was surprised at that.
I questioned this as well. I was standing behind the blue player station, and I don't know if a team was pushing 71 or not, but their arm went over the wall with tetras in hand, and the tetras hit one of THURST's operators. The ref that was standing there didn't do much of anything, while we were yelling because we were concerned for that student's safety. If a team was pushing 71 and made them go up and over the wall, their power should have been cut. If it was just 71 going up and over, then their power should have been cut. Someone could have been seriously injured, luckily no one was.
