I’d like the hive minds opinion on when you would penalise a team for being late onto the field of play with a penalty.
one team was late today leading to a 1402 KO instead of 1400. Oppo coaches were adamant I should have given a penalty, voicing their opinions both before and after the game (I was somewhat cheesed off and made the mistake of talking to a coach straight after the game and let him know what he could with his opinions, but that’s another thread methinks).
so anyway, would you penalise this? Do you have a strict if you’re not on the field at the proper KO time it’s a penalty. 2 mins? 3 mins? 5 mins?
i’ve been referring 6 years and never penalised this and teamshave been late on occasion. Am I too lax?
