"I hope your daughter is wearing a one-piece swimming suit.The men's polo I saw when the Olympics were on TV included a lot of "pantsing". I don't think children should have to handle that!"
Actually most girls wear 2 suits... very tight to attempt to not give opponent something to grab onto
"I think the refs stand along the edge and can see pretty much straight down. At least, that's how it appeared on TV. They'd probably get a better angle from a window in the side of the pool. But then the players would have to wear numbers on their butts, I suppose."
They have numbers on their hats, numbers 1 through 20, they have an interesting mechanic to report numbers to table, they do use both hands, and a fist mens 10+, so for lets say, 17, they would make a fist, then transition in one motion into 7 fingers into the air... it is interesting to see.
Minor infractions are just a stop in play, and ball turned over to non-offending team. If defense offends, they must back off at whistle and allow offense to pass ball on unmolested.
For flagrant fouls they call it and "exclusion" or commonly called a "kickout" the offending player must swim to side of pool and remain out of play for 20 seconds, or until their team gets ball back, or goal is scored. 3 exclusions and player is out of game.
It is interesting to see governance in other sports.. and how it is simular and different to basketball.
