Thanks.

I could be wrong but IMO , FF are up to the Head Ref and from my understanding it is a fault that would likely affect the outcome of a match at the Head Ref discretion withe communication and agreement of the FTA.

So for instance a defense may get loose but if its not super loose or even if it is .... if the defense was destroyed already then calling a FF would not likely affect that match in any fashion....so its less likely to be called in that scenario.

Each potential FF situation is evaluated at the time.

I saw a FF called due to tablets not working with FMS for instance is another scenario.
