Re: end game defense

The yellow and red cards were adopted from soccer (football). As a soccer ref, if I see a team deliberately breaking the rules, someone would get a caution (yellow card) for unsporting behavior. Specifically, for "bringing the game into disrepute".

Teams can deliberately break rules to their advantage, but if they do so they have to accept the consequences. I hope we have enough yellow flags in queuing.

Which brings up a point - somebody's gonna have to keep track of who is on a yellow card. I'll bet that's a new head queuer function.
