What should the initial response be for minor offenses that do not meet any specific infraction criteria?

When dealing with minor offenses that do not meet specific infraction criteria, handling the situation with a caution is the appropriate response. This approach allows for a gentle reminder to the player about the rules without escalating the situation unnecessarily. Cautioning a player acknowledges the offense, provides an opportunity for learning, and maintains a fair and positive environment. It encourages players to reflect on their actions and make adjustments to prevent recurrence.

This method is particularly effective in fostering a supportive atmosphere while ensuring the integrity of the game is upheld. It’s intended for less serious breaches where the goal is to educate rather than punish, reinforcing proper conduct during matches. By addressing the issue in this way, you contribute to the player's growth and understanding of the game's rules.
