This I agree with. The rules are very simple and human players should be able to follow them properly.

However, the issue I have seen multiple times is that when, before the match even starts, a human player is already holding a moonrock, yet the referee standing next to him/her and doesn't tell them that they will get a penalty. Then, when the round starts, the human player immediately receives a penalty.

I agree with Cory that the human players shouldn't make the mistake in the first place, but if they do and the round hasn't started yet, why can't the referee inform them that what they're doing is against the rules?

Just my $0.02
