I would go further ... I think there ought to be 14 on-field refs (10 for
indoors) and they should be allowed to call each and every foul and
violation they see as and when they occur. In fact, to allow them enough
space, I would remove the on-field players and hand control of the disc to
the refs ... Oh dear! I see to have re-invented Ultimate ;-)

Sammy ... couldn't resist!
