Referees and penalties

There will be two referees during the game. For the "pro" category, the referees can be other players participating in the tournament.

The assessment of the situation always depends on the referee. If a player sees a foul during the game, he must report it to the referee during the game so that the referee can monitor the player more closely.

After the game, it is no longer possible to solve any situation that happened in the game, only to draw attention to it. In case of a higher number of complaints from multiple teams, the situation may be resolved with the team captains.

First warning: No penalty

Every next offense : -500 points
