A: In that scenario, the Alliance would need to rectify the situation to be in compliance with all Game rules as quickly as [sic] safely as possible.

Ah, i hadn't seen that. Thanks!

The only exception would be for the first 5 seconds of teleop (in case some alliance scores more than 6).

I think this would keep the offense flowing.
What i really intended this for was for situations where 7 basketballs were scored super duper quickly. But i agree completely with the "playing with fire" part.
