If it was the elimination round, Red would automatically win.

What remains to be seen is which rule takes precedence, G18-1 or G30. G18-1 says you can't cause a foul; G30 says it's a foul regardless of who causes it.
I guess it all depends on how harshly they want to keep people away. It could be another "trump card" clause like 2011...ugh.

It seems to me to make the most sense to just let G18-1 be the end-all be-all. If you force them into a red-card situation, they a) don't get the redcard, b) you get a TECHNICAL FOUL, and c) you possibly disrupt your own alliance's climb. That seems to me to be enough disincentive to not risk trying to force an opposing redcard...
