5.13.10.2 and 5.13.9 ARE YOUR FRIENDS

Last night our officials group had a meeting.  Usually we watch footage from the bout that just occurred, but we didn't have it, so we didn't watch it (obviously).  We did discuss it, though, in great and loving detail.

I realized that I messed up my explanation of the penalty box shenanigans - there were TWO instances, one in each game:

FIRST GAME: Player reports to the box after committing a low block, due to her skate truck breaking.  The jam is called dead for other things.  While discussing the other things, and trying to determine if the player with the broken skate should be substituted out, that team's coach enters the penalty box and communicates with the player.  We see this and the HR plans on giving him a Penalty Box Violation, which would go to the captain. 

THEN THE CAPTAIN GOES INTO THE PENALTY BOX AND COMMUNICATES WITH THE PLAYER.

(At this point it's determined that the Captain was already "in the box" when she spoke to the player, so she does not have to serve a second penalty.)

SECOND GAME: During an Official Review about a penalty that a team's jammer is serving, that jammer leaves the penalty box to get a water bottle.  The penalty is overturned, but she earned herself a Penalty Box Violation.  The HR and the team's coach go over to the box to let the jammer know.

THEN THE COACH STEPS INTO THE BOX AND ADMONISHES THE JAMMER FOR LEAVING THE BOX.

She. Nan. I. Gans, to be sure.
