Just a minor nitpick on this...

"A RED CARD results in DISQUALIFICATION." (This is from 5.5.4, 1st paragraph.)

And "Disqualified" is defined in the Manual as: "DISQUALIFIED: the status of a TEAM, as determined by the Head Referee, in which they receive zero (0)
Qualification Points in a Qualification MATCH or causes their ALLIANCE to automatically lose an Elimination MATCH." (Section 6, Glossary)

Yep, that's a penalty, all right. But to get a red card, you're doing something REALLY--how to say this--NOT smart.

And blocking the goal (the action in question) is only a Technical Foul, or 50 points, assuming that you actually enter the goal to do it, nowhere near a card of any sort. Blocking the goal without entering it, on the other hand, is quite legal, and I expect to see several teams doing it.
