Hooray, sounds like it'll die.

The enormous problem with a blacklist is that it is difficult to verify that every single team in an alliance got the message. It would be very easy for someone who was on the wrong side of a TNA result to say "THAT TEAM SAID THEY WOULD!"

*But maybe the opposing that said they would wasn't the team with the HP at the HP station.
*Maybe the agreement was with a driver, and they didn't have time to tell their HP
*Maybe circumstances intervened
*Maybe a huge tote stack got built and hurt visibility, so that other team couldn't see the noodles getting put out.
*Maybe a robot accidentally cleaned up the noodes while heading to the STEP.

Regionals are loud, exciting places. The TNA handshake would need to percolate from those that handshook to the 20 or so people involved in coaching, operating, and human-playering in the match.

A blacklist entry for a team would be a claim that:
1) Everyone in the match (drivers, coaches, and most importantly human players on all 3 teams) was in agreement they'd do TNA
and
2) It didn't happen.
and
3) It didn't happen because of a bad faith violation of TNA.

It is easy to verify [2] with video. It would be very, very hard to verify [1] or [3], and so wouldn't be worth besmirching a team's reputation.
