To paraphrase and try to put it in context:
They have merely reset the severity of the G12 penalties.. If your act is an inconsequential or unintended action, but, still manages to keep the opposing alliance away from their ball (not a bad thing in this game), but, if your action is deemed to appear or be intentional or worse absolutely deliberate and strategically planned by nature of appearance...They can raise the severity back to where it was, and even higher.
I say don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Some of those fouls now won't necessarily flat cost you the match...But some still will. Try to be nice.
Play your game, don't attempt to run or ruin theirs. This is a 1 game piece per Alliance, work well together, inbound get 3 assists / truss/ catch/ score fast cycle game. (And it is really exciting to see it played to full complete high scoring fast cycles by both Alliances at the same time (especially w/ occasional zone defense, when not on the ball right then, added). Not so much, when it instead reverts to just a battle bots type show).
