Yeah without being there it is tought to envision the totality of a crazy situation like that, but I would say A6 started it...just goes to show you, you have to be careful who you taunt, you never know who is nuts and ready to kill you for it!

JR and Bob,
Did you notice that the two people that I am talking about are one player, B2, and one team member from the bench, A7.

Thus they fall into different categories for the fighting penalties. I know of nothing that allows us to cancel/offset penalties across categories for a fight, unless the fouls constitute a double foul or a simultaneous foul. That is why I am saying that they probably need to be penalized in the order in which they occurred.

OK, I see your point now. It does have some merit, but I don't think that I agree with you re: the purpose and intent of the rule. I also can't think of any rules language that will definitively prove either take as being right or wrong.

One for the rulesmakers that read this forum......

I agree.

Now do we need to generate another 11 pages for them to notice this and make a ruling?
