when duck starts spouting rules knowingly, you guys are in trouble! :>))) By current rules: the bobbing head would be legal only IF there is a neutral zone (where the Romulians live) between the sub box and playing area. Then bobbing heads are not in playing area. If bobbing head IS in playing area, this is illegal. As the deck ref (and I am), I would warn once, then penalize. BTW, when I warn one team, I try/want to warn other team too. Keep everyone on same page.

I realize it is minor, but as deck ref trying to determine legal subbing, having any part of a sub player in the playing are creates confusion - is player entering or not? It is amazing how many players, coaches, etc are not conversant with rules and spend a lot of time arguing - uselessly and wasting play time - about something they know little about! Either read up on rules or trust the deck ref to know them - that is my job - know the rules. I also realize/have read that there in Bari your refs are not the best. This is when it is critical for a coach and/or team cpt to know the rules.
