According to our completely-not-made-up rules, a 3-point penalty is only awarded when the ref is having a bad hair day. If the ref's hair is looking particularly unruly, we may award a 3-point penalty. If the ref's hair is looking particularly majestic, we may not award a 3-point penalty.
Also, a 3-point penalty may be awarded if the ref is having a bad day, which is often.
A 3-point penalty will be awarded at the discretion of the arena's hair consultants. They are experts in bad hair days and know a good penalty when they see one.
A 3-point penalty consists of three points subtracted from your team's score.
However, if the opposing team is wearing the same jersey as you, the 3-point penalty is doubled to six points.
If the ref's hair is a mullet, the 3-point penalty is tripled to nine points.
We're not really sure why, but it just seems right.
If you feel that the 3-point penalty was unjustly awarded, you may appeal to the arena's hair appeal committee.
The committee is comprised of three hair experts who will review the evidence and render a verdict.
They will consider factors such as:
They will also consider any other factors they deem relevant.
Their decision is binding and final.
