Re: Ranking Points

Stop. Before you post, please please please verify what the rules actually say!

There is NO requirement that the Defenses be Breached for the Tower to be Weakened! The Defenses have to be Crossed for Robots to launch Boulders, but there is absolutely no requirement that a Breach happens before the Tower can Weaken. It is likely to happen, but it's entirely possible that three robots use only the Low Bar to cross (or some other Defense) and ignore all other routes.

Also, Fouls are +5 to your opponent; Tech Fouls are +5 to your opponent PLUS 1 Strength to their Tower. See 3.3.2.
