We try hard to get all penalties announced at the St. Louis regional, too. In some complex cases, we have the Head Ref explain the penalty personally, but most of the time he relays it to our game announcer.

At BAE GSR starting on Friday, they were announcing what the penalties were and which team it was on. This made things easier to understand.
