Thread: Argue a call

Hi!

Would you help me translate the following phrase into Spanish?

"argue a call"

Context:

If a coach argues a call he may be flagged. If the coach continues to argue a call the coach may be red flagged. Resulting in banishment from the field. If a coach is red flagged the team is to play without a coach the rest of the tournament.
Thanks!!!

En España usaríamos la palabra protestar.

Si un entrenador protesta la decisión de un árbitro puede resultar en una amonestación . Si incide o insiste en sus protestas, se le puede mostrar tarjeta roja con el resultado de la expulsión/ser expulsado del campo......

Hi Nadia,
From the context given by you this text seems to make reference to a car race. I think "Argue a call" is when a pilot argues a resolution from the referee. I suggest "discutir una llamada de atención", though there might be a more technical option...

Sabrina, I don't agree. I know it says "flagged", but at the same time race car teams don't have a "coach" and don't appear in "tournaments". I say it's something more like a soccer match where the person has chosen to call the cards "flags"...

Hi Sabrina, I thought like Scott it was a soccer or even basketball match.

It is a baseball game... no cars here...

I agree with you guys! Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi everybody!

Vincent, you really made me think with your comment, YOU ARE RIGHT! so (curious as I am, you know ) I made some research... And this is what I found:

We are NOT talking about a baseball game but a PAINTBALL TOURNAMENT. In this link you'll find what it is: http://www.starspangledcelebration.org/ and in this link you can read the rules: http://www.starspangledcelebration.org/Paintball07.doc. The exact sentence is on the Game Rules section, item 8.

Now it's crystal clear for everybody...

Weird though, as Nadia, who posted the question confirmed the baseball match...
