Hockey Rules and Interpretations | Long Advantage Before a Card

How do you play a long advantage and come back for a personal penalty card later? Check out how in this #FeatureFriday video, where we highlight one of the hundreds of clips in the fhu3t Clip Library. Find them all: 🟢🟡🔴🏑

A yellow card is shown after a long advantage is played. Note the communication between the two umpires as the trail confirms over the radio they should as a team come back for the card. The trail tells the control which number it is, which is important when numbers are much smaller (or are non-existent) on players as they are facing you. 

Also, the two umpires worked out that the free hit should still go in the direction of NZL despite that the card was given to NZL, as the foul that brought about the next stoppage in play was committed by USA. As demonstrated here, the best approach is to not only communicate with your colleague but also confirm to the players why the actions are being taken.

How do you prepare in your pre-match chat with your colleague to handle delays in awarding cards like this? What has worked for you in the past? Let us know in the comments!
