I don't think so, but even if it is I wouldn't write it like that because it sounds wrong. Sounding intelligent when you write has more to do with readability and less to do with proper grammar. I would rewrite the sentence as, "How many times can a penalty be repeated by a referee?" After rereading your original sentence I really don't think it is proper. It's got to be a fragment. By the way it's not "grammary" it's "grammatically"

First sentence you need to correct is your question. Grammary is not a word. Second.....
How many times can a penalty be repeated by a referee? That would sound better.

No, it's grammatically incorrect as it isn't a question. You should rearrange the wording to change it into a question:
How many times could a penalty be repeated by (a/the) referee?
If it's a statement, it needs additional words as it doesn't make sense as it stands.

No it is not grammatically correct.
It is also not a sentence, it is a question.
I am not sure what you are trying to ask. Is this what you mean?
How many times can a referee repeat a penalty?

Do you mean, "Is this sentence grammatically correct?"
The answer is NO, it not grammatically correct. You could say, "How many times could a penalty be repeated by (a/the) referee?"

Try "How many times could a penalty be repeated by the referee?" And your word, I think, is "grammatically."

"How many times a penalty could be repeated by referee?"
I think it should be:
"How many times can a penalty be repeated by referees?"
Or
"How many times can a penalty be repeated by a referee?"

Remember this:
Question word(s) + first auxiliary + subject + (other auxiliaries) + main verb + complements
QW: How many times.
Aux: could
Subj: a penalty
O.A.: be
M.V.: repeated
Compl.: by a referee? (not "by referee", because "referee" is a count noun, and it can't stand alone in the singular)
BTW, your question should be "Is this sentence grammatically correct?"
