A little interjection here which doesn't include the penalty enforcement FJ has it right on the money for all the situations. However for discussion lets consider a couple things. I am not going to question your judgement c it first. It sounds like the hit by A didn't knock the b player off his pins, I say this because the B player returned the "favor". One thing I look for on a hit like that is that A) the first contact knocks the opposition down, or B) the second player doesn't return the "favor". If A happens I certainly have a flag, if B happens I may or may not, but if B returns the favor and wasn't kocked down, I usually pass on the flag and talk to both of them. The WH may have been using this logic, and rather than waive off the flags, decided to make them offset, though he didn't really have a justification in the rules to do so..Just a thought to consider.
