some big changes smuggled into the 2014 Law Book for Rule 8.
I don't remember anyone mentioning this before? Has it been there since January without me noticing?
2013 Laws
[LAWS]8.5 MORE THAN ONE INFRINGEMENT
(a) When there is more than one infringement by the same team:
• If advantage cannot be applied to the second offence the referee applies the appropriate
sanction to the first offence.
• If advantage is played for the second offence but none accrues, the referee applies the
appropriate sanction for the second offence.
• If either sanction is for foul play, the referee applies the appropriate sanction for that
offence.
(b) If advantage is being played following an infringement by one team and then the other team
commit an infringement, the referee blows the whistle and applies the sanctions associated
with the first infringement[/LAWS]
2014 Laws
[LAWS]8.5 MORE THAN ONE INFRINGEMENT
(a) When there is more than one infringement by the same team:
• If advantage cannot be played or does not accrue to the second offence, the referee
applies the appropriate sanction to the offence which is most advantageous to the nonoffending
team.
• If either sanction is for foul play the referee applies the appropriate sanction to the offence
which is most advantageous to the non-offending team. The referee may also temporarily
suspend, or order off, the offending player.

commit an infringement, the referee blows the whistle and applies the sanctions associated
with the first infringement. If either infringement is for foul play, the referee applies the
