There are days when I really feel sorry for the GDC. A day when I read someone admitting that his interpretation of the rules means matches can be won by a team shoving an opponent into a forbidden corner and repeatedly tagging it to rack up foul points is definitely one of those days. Demanding the GDC explicitly tell us that we can't win a match solely by forcing fouls on our opponent seems pretty silly to me. I know the GDC has made some calls in the past that many of us disagreed with or thought would go the other way, but this one just seems far far too obvious to support this speculation. I'm honestly expecting a Q&A on this to get a rather abrupt smackdown requesting the submitter not lawyer the rules and use some common sense.
