So, to bring this up again.
This weekend in Geneva, they had a small tourney on Saturday, and a Bench Minors-esque tourney on Sunday.
In Both Tournies, there were NO referees at all, and responsibility of actions was with the players. I have to say, apart from the first game on saturday, where the old dude on Sparton was being a dick, all the games were really clean and respectful.
You may doubt this could work, but I think it was a really good idea to try it at a small tourney, there were plenty of fairly new players there, who you would expect to be over physical to make up for their lack of skills. And I can safely say, the games were some of the best I've played or watched. Fair play ruled the day, and everyone was really chilled out.
