Re: Ramming and Hitting
 

Lets say a team is running full speed to their ramp at the end of a match, and an opponent tries to block them, causing a "full speed ramming/collision" situation.

Is the team trying to race to its ramp penalized? In other words, who is responsible for preventing this collision, the team trying to score on the ramp or the team trying to defend?

I think "ramming" penalties will be very tough for refs to call given situations like this. On the other hand, teams can avoid penalties of this nature by avoiding the situations that can cause them. (for example, playing a slow pushing/blocking style of defense rather than a hard hitting fast style of defense).

Something that helped teams learn how to avoid penalties last year was when the match announcer described what penalties given at the end of a match. This really helped teams to learn and adjust their style of play. I hope this is done again this year.

Re: Ramming and Hitting
 

what if a team rams you in autonomus mode and wrecks your scoring mechanism


then after you fix it the same team does the exact same thing again and rebreaks it(in autonomus mode)


does that count as an intentional ram?
