And as Chris points out, in extreme cases FIRST headquarters staff or a GDC member can step in to provide resolution.
The Head ref said at the drivers meeting on saturday morning that this change was to reduce the amount of heavy defense that was being played on friday. I see this as a problem because instead of giving out yellow flags they decided to change the rule. I did not see any yellow flags for the so called "heavy defense". Im still confused.
