Jan, you quoted the procedure nicely. I'll re-state what I meant...if the umpire *wants* to issue card, then a card is issued (by the referee). It does not have to be a team decision, though I agree, it would be helpful for the referee to know why the card is being requested, but if the umpire feels a card is worthy, the referee must immediately issue it, and has no grounds to overrule it.

Different, of course, in NCAA and USAV...
