Grunewar - you and me both, though I know this will always be a part of my pre-game going forward (and shame on me for it not being so previously). During our association meetings they also encouraged us to get a small sharpy marker to put in our pocket so we can write down player numbers on our hand/wrist if anything happens.

My association suggested we have one of the table personnel write down the numbers we report, and then collect the list at the end of the game.

Very good video, It does seem that there are a lot more fights and near misses in games now. So my questions are, at what point do the refs retreat, in other words get the heck out? What steps do we take to seperate players if any?
