Re: A "Dangerous Situation"

This is one of the problems of having to rewrite the rules every season. The law of untended consequences come up. Everybody, referees included, has a slightly different interpretation of the rules. The best you can hope for is at any given event, the referees are consistent.

Just reading G18-1, I would think that it would only be called when intent to cause a foul is the only reasonable interpretation of the action. So pushing a robot into a protected member while trying to get them out of the way of another robot shooting should not be a foul under this rule.
