I think I'm reading IRISHMAFIA's & CLBUFFALO's response in agreement with that but WESTMICHBLUE & BRETMAN disagree. They think each team gets to violate the rule before they get a warning.
So now what?

RJ,
I think that either you misunderstood OR that the presenter(s) misunderstood. Team B does not get a warning for Team A's violation - Team A gets the warning for their member's violation and then faces the prescribed penalty for future violations.
Did you get a rule citing that both teams get warned for one's violation?

I am looking at the Fed presentation right now - I have Fed's powerpoint with Pennsylvania's administrative additions & comments. No where do I see anything about warning both teams for one team's violation.

The second offense by either team results in that offender and coach being restricted to the bench.

Is that the way you guys interpret the rule as well?

thats not what they told us (TASO, Texas) - each team gets their own waning

Removing Boundary Lines

Okay, thanks for the responses. I'm going to go back to the clinician who gave the clinic and relate the input I've received.

That's what I said! :D

We were told at our clinic that each team gets their own separate warning.
