Obviously it's not the ethical thing to do but it shouldn't even be an option if you ask me.

In 2008, we went to the VCU regional and lost in the semifinals in 3 matches.
In one of the matches, a defender hit our partner Team 401 and they fell over. Because they fell over on its side, they got a penalty because they exceeded the maximum (cant remember the exact dimension) they could be extended horizontally.
We lost that match as a result.
Its been so long, but at that time, I was pretty upset.
Its too bad rules cant account for silly penalties like this based on the situation.
