Don't the referees need practice on Thursday, too? Shouldn't they be overseeing the "simulated" matches which follow the same timing as regular ones and calling them per the rules? Shouldn't they be watching out for and pointing out examples of over the top hitting or visibly counting out pinning counts? Ya really shouldn't be leaving the determination of what is and isn't appropriate defense up to the teams on Thursday, especially when some teams are attending their first events and haven't experienced anything like it before.
