Rule 20.6 previously only allowed the officials to confirm the original major penalty call or downgrade it to a minor. They now have a third option to wipe it out completely.

Here’s the updated rule, change in bold:

The Referee shall have the following options after video review of his own call: (i) confirming his original Major Penalty call; (ii) reducing his original Major Penalty call to a lesser penalty; or (iii) rescinding the original Major Penalty altogether.

Minor penalties can't be reviewed. Referees need to call a major in order to initiate the review.

Which is bullshit.

They should be allowed to challenge a call.

One way to torpedo this league jockeying for one team over another.

This is true, but consultation between officials at the behest of the officials is not a review. They're allowed to do that.
