Challenge flag (Both Div) #27

Closed leonardoSCosta closed 4 years ago

leonardoSCosta commented 4 years ago

From the rule change proposal:

In American football there is a challenge flag: A team can challenge a decision of the referee If referees decision was correct, team loses a timeout If referees decision was incorrect, correct decision is applied Only one ruling may be challenged at a time.

We consider giving each team about two flags. The exact number is yet to be determined.

The rationale is that we are losing a lot of time discussing referee decisions. It will make teams think twice before discussing a situation.

I agree with @tobiasheineken. It might create some weird situations if you can't regain your challenge flag. You might have to to decide between using the flag and speculating to save it for a later situation, where it might be even more important/valuable. And I think to keep the complexity of the GC and rules as low as possible it's a good idea to just keep the flag if you're correct.

With these rules, a punishment for using the flag wrongly is even more important. If it's for free you have one "free shot" to delay the game and waste time without any risk.

I think that is a nice combination, which can be tested and evaluated during RoboCup.
