Re: Alamo Regional: Red cards

Under another rule, if you don't participate, you get a red card. (That one I can understand.)
To elaborate a little more, I have added more to the two situations that EricH has mentioned:
  1. Eligibility: <T03> A TEAM will only be allowed to participate in a MATCH and receive qualification, ranking, and Coopertition points only if it has passed inspection. If it is learned after the start of the MATCH that a TEAM did not pass inspection, the TEAM’s entire ALLIANCE will receive a RED CARD for that MATCH.
  2. Match Point Exceptions: A TEAM is declared a no-show if no member of the TEAM is in the ALLIANCE STATION at the start of the MATCH; a no-show TEAM will be disqualified from that MATCH.

The way that they disqualify a team at the start of the match is through issuing a Red Card before the match starts.

Also, to clarify a point stated earlier. If a TEAM does show, but is without a robot, there is a button to BYPASS the TEAM, they should not be receiving a Red Card, since they had a member of the TEAM show for the match and should still receive all ranking, qualification, and Coopertition points.

Hope this helps a little with some of the confusion and sorry if it might seem a little repetitive.
