Regardless, we need an interpretation from the GDC (either TU1 or QA). Is the GDC's intent to keep half of the field completely clear of the opposing alliance (i.e. pushing opponents for area penalties is a legitimate scoring strategy), or are they allowing teams to go in clear areas without worrying about being pushed into penalties?

The current wording leads me to the former, but it is entirely possible I'm lawyering the rules.

Unfortunately, it's difficult to lobby my team for a particular drivetrain without knowing if we have to worry about this.
