Fortunately, the LRI gets to make the final call.

I posted that per G3, a team risks a Yellow Card if they step OVER a noodle. Someone commented that common sense should prevail.

Stop Build is drilled into everyone's head to make the process fair. After that, it is belts and suspenders to provide perceived enforcement. If a team is going to cheat, a piece of paper isn't going to stop them.

If an Act of God prevents bagging and tagging on time, document it, and the LRI will probably give you a pass. God only knows how many rules we bend to give every team the opportunity to compete - safely.
