Aye. If a team isn't re-inspected, and this is known BEFORE the match, the OTHER side of T8 comes into play--the team doesn't participate in the match, including their HP. This gives only the team in question a Disqualification (Section 5.5.3, Part D) which assigns no points, rather than a red card. (A Red Card is a Disqualification, but a Disqualification is not necessarily a Red Card.)

And I agree, we're not out there to "Gotcha" teams. If it's a quick fix, I'd rather have the team fix it quickly than apply any sort of DQ or RC--just works out better.
