I don't know, Dave, I did not see the guy play at all until the game in which he got expelled from the tournament, so I just can't say how bad he was, but based on what little I saw, and this video, I can safely say I don't think he would lasted long any court I was reffing.
And, yeah, we do need to add something about expulsion.
"Expulsion from tournament: in cases of gross misconduct, the head ref or tournament organiser can expel the offending player from the remainder of the tournament."
I also think that the team for which the player was playing should be forced to play the rest of the tourney with 2 players. That way, the team-mates have an interest in restraining unruly team members.
I know it seems unfair on the rest of the team, but, hey, it's your team, take responsibility, and don't play with some dick who's going to leave the opposition with bruises & cuts & broken kit.
