For once a court keeps itself out of where it does not belong.

Thankfully this is avoided: new for 2015 every football game must now have a 9th, 8th, 7th, 6th or whatever is +1th official. This official must be a certified legal arbitrator. Each coach is granted 2 appeals to the arbiter during the game. Arbitration supercedes all rulings by the game officials who must hold the game in suspension until the arbitration appeal is completed. Arbitration hearings may take up to 2 weeks. Each arbiter's decision shall be recorded and is then established as precedent for all future arbitration appeals.
