In scenario1, I disagree that G28 was violated. The intent here is to make the alleyway defendable, but not to make passing robots into targets.
In scenario 2, I disagree with both quoted statements. Z did not violate G28 and the driver of A is a fool and should have made at least 4 substantial runs into the opposing robot and thus gained 12 points. Z was out of position and deserved the points.
Moral: defend far enough away from the zones to be reasonable and if the opponent comes tearing at you , dodge and remember, they are wasting their time instead of scoring.
