Brazilian women's volleyball head coach Guimaraes complained about the green card rules. He believes that many athletes admit to a fighter only after seeing a challenge from their opponent, which is not really a fair play ethos. Guimarães argues that athletes who admit to a fighter before their opponent even challenges him should be rewarded.
Under the current rules, players who voluntarily admit to blocking tentacles or touching the net in front of the net for the first time can get a green card presented by the referee, helping to save unnecessary video challenge time. During the VNL Finals, the team with the highest number of green cards will receive a $30,000 fair play prize. If the number of green cards is the same, the higher-ranked team will receive a bonus.
