Notifying teams of yellow/red cards
We received two yellow cards this weekend -- and consequently a red card -- after some trouble with our bumper mounts pulling out.
In the first instance, the yellow card was announced alongside the match score, but no official directly informed any member of my drive team about the infraction.
In the second instance, neither the yellow card nor subsequent red card was announced to spectators and, again, no official informed any member of my team.
Is this par for the course? We asked the head referee how teams are meant to correct behavior when they're not being informed of these infractions and were told, more or less, that we "should know better."
I'm curious if this is typical interaction between teams and the officials or if others are more diligent about informing teams of penalties/cards. I'd like to see some standard in place that the referees must follow with respect to informing teams of all penalties and cards.
