Anyone have experience refereeing touch?
The game, the formal game played under FIT rules is virtually unheard of here, but we're played a few weeks last summer and are looking to do it again.
The biggest problem we had was refereeing the "touch".
Often players would make a pass as touch was made/called, resulting in confusion. The laws say it's a penalty, but players hated that.
Or they'd be running and get touched and run several steps past the mark.
How is this supposed to be handled?
