Play turns to me and yells, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!" WHACK!! I learned then that players get fined $10 bucks for a T, and have to sit out the rest of the half in which the T occurs. If it is in the first half, they can play in the second half as long as they pay the fine to the table. They also are limited to 5 Ts per season before they get thrown out of the league.

Good, but I think it's best when the officials don't know about the extra ramifications of the T. Too many officials take that information and consider it when deciding to whack or not to whack.
