Re: IRI Ball denial and G31

I think we need to look at the intent of the rule to decide strategies. Breaking a rule on purpose is not always a bad thing, however breaking a rule with the intent of not geting caught is. Rules/pentalties are in place not to see them as an evil to avoid at all costs, but as a tradeoff. Example, last year if there was a tube we needed in the opponents lane and time was running out, go get it and take the -3 points and finish your logo. I personally will not employ a strategy with the intent of breaking the rules without getting caught and I hope others don't. If I'm beaten by this, at least I can hold my head high and know I played my best with the rules I was given.
