I think the rationale behind not purposefully fouling was that both teams still wanted to try and win the match through a pure offensive standpoint, and get the 200+ points clean. If we're admonishing two alliances agreeing to play a certain way, why aren't we admonishing alliances that use their timeout for the other alliance? Every argument here could be used in an argument against giving a timeout to the other alliance.
