In Response To: Good ruling/Bad Rule (storm)

Isn't there some time penalty given here ? Otherwise you get extra time to think by making an illegal move.

No. There is a rule against making illegal plays on purpose, but of course that can be hard to prove. From a practical standpoint illegal plays happen with a reasonable frequency and are accidental 99,99% of the time. Having to call a TD over to take time of the clock is a bit much, I think.

You can call a 30 second time penalty on your opponent for fast grabbing.
