I only take issue with on statement you make about the head. You say:
"Anything to the head WITH CONTACT is flagrant with no exceptions. A swing and a miss is a tech, swing and a HIT is a ticket outa here for the rest of the game."
I am not sure how the swing and a miss is a tech by rule this year. I liked the old way it was done, but I thought that it was only a violation, regardless of where the elbow is aimed.
Rule 4, SECTION 24 HANDS AND ARMS, LEGAL AND ILLEGAL USE
ART. 8 . . . It is not legal to swing arms and elbows excessively. This occurs when:
a. Arms and elbows are swung about while using the shoulders as pivots, and the speed of the extended arms and elbows is in excess of the rest of the body as it rotates on the hips or on the pivot foot.
b. The aggressiveness with which the arms and elbows are swung could cause injury to another player if contacted.
Using this description as a basis, an official will promptly and unhesitatingly call such action with arms and elbows a violation.
