What does a Caution represent in the context of penalties?

A Caution in the context of penalties is indeed a light verbal admonition to a player. It serves as a way for judges to indicate that a player's behavior or action has not adhered to the rules or expected conduct, but it does not rise to the level of a more serious infraction. A Caution is intended to help educate the player and ensure they understand the correct course of action moving forward, without imposing harsher penalties.

This approach allows judges to maintain the integrity of the game while providing players the opportunity to correct their behavior. It is important to recognize that a Caution is not a formal written warning or a record of severe penalties, and it certainly does not result in a permanent ban from the event, which would be considered a much more severe action.
