How about changing the rules to allow challenges regarding penalties, in BOTH respects. That is, allow a challenge to a penalty that was called, saying that it shouldn't have been called... And, allow a challenge in a play when a penalty wasn't called, but SHOULD have been called.

While we're on the subject: are teams still allowed only two challenges per game? And is a team charged with a challenge EVEN IF they're correct? If so, that's wrong.

I could go along with that if the number is very limited. I've heard that penalties could be called on just about every play.

I thought it was two per half.

They are, but they're not charged a timeout. I don't have a problem with that. I've yet to see a case where a team ran out of challenges.
