Re: [FTC]: FTC Rules Question - Shooting

If we were to contact the opposing alliance's crates with balls through a shooter mechanism, would this violate rule SG6?

Thanks!
You just said it yourself

I know as a ref I would look through the rule book for that ruling, however I think the standing with most of the refs down here would probably said it would be contacted by your alliance, thus giving you a 40 point penalty. However I will talk with some people about this one to see if it would be considered "illegal", but at first glance it seems TOTALLY illegal.


Here is what I tell teams who want to have strategies aimed at that.

"If the GDC put a 40 point penalty on it, they don't ever want you to consider doing that."

Hope this helps,

- Andrew
