Switching to the Laws forum, for a more general debate than the thread which raised this
What happens when Red commit more than one PK offence ?
This was subject to a Law Trial last year and then in May 2018 the law was changed
[LAWS]
Jan 2018
7.2.d The offending team commits a second infringement from which no advantage can be gained. The referee stops play and applies the appropriate and more advantageous sanction (either tactically or territorially).
May 2018 Law Change
7.2.d The offending team commits a second or subsequent infringement from which no advantage can be gained. The referee stops play and allows the captain of the non-offending team to choose the most advantageous sanction.
[/LAWS]
(note this is not a rewrite thing, there was a global trial resulting in a law change )
So in another thread about two simultaneous offences people were very reluctant to offer a choice, and wanted to penalise the most material offence (which is not actually the old Law either )
So my general question is : in what circumstances do people feel that the new 7.2.d does not apply ? And why ?
For me it's very straightforward .. two offences : non offending team get a choice
