Is there someone here that knows how the targeting rule is applied when there is no IR? Seeing quite afew of the penalties has been reversed when there is IR there should be a different way to use the rule when IR isnt avalible?
From the rule book:
"For games in which Instant Replay is not used: If a player is disqualified in the second half, the conference may consult the national coordinator of football officials who would then facilitate a video review. Based on the review, if the national coordinator concludes that the player should not have been disqualified, the conference may vacate the suspension. If the national coordinator supports the disqualification, the suspension for the next game will remain."
Also, note that the penalty is not reversed by IR, only the disqualification.
