Everyone involved is guilty. We as community need to have certain absolutes. Disseminating leaks should not be tolerated by this community no matter how many degrees of separation there is from the original leak there is.

I know, I am not supposed to put my personal values on other people, but I believe there are certain lines that should never be crossed. They were crossed this preseason.
I was initially disagreeing with you, but I find that analogy to be pretty accurate. The only difference is that FRC is essentially "graded on a curve", so it's actually more fair to release it to everyone rather than just keep it to oneself and thereby break the curve.
That being said, I do agree with you that it should not have been released. The optimal course of action would have been to keep silent (even from one's own team) until kickoff, and report to FIRST immediately. Obviously it is impossible to stop oneself from thinking about it, but in ultimately it makes very little difference if one person is given a small hint and a few days to think about it beforehand.
