Re: G28 + G11 seems broken

Or maybe add impeding BATTEN access in the last 20 seconds to the impeding match flow rule. Unless they want to go meta and declare the blocking team broke G11 by trying to draw a G11 of G28. Which seems like too much interpretation to put on a ref in the last 20 of a match.
That's not how I read G28. The defending robots cannot prevent the attacking robots from reaching the tower.

In order to not be in a position where you might violate G28 all you have to do is exit your own courtyard before the last 20 seconds. Which is when you should be trying to scale the castle at the other end anyway.
