I totally agree with you. Though it may seem like a great idea at first glance, it seems restricting marking someone with this 'letter'/'flag' or whatever you may.

Besides, why discourage teams from playing a good defense--yes, people make accidents; but in saying that they basically get one shot and then they're disqualified--that sounds a bit over the edge to me. People make accidents, and I don't think they shouldn't be penalized that much for such things.

Not to mention that I have qualms with such a subjective penalty system.
