Agreed. I can't quite make out why this change was made, or how it really helps anything. The way I read it, both teams going for a center ball would receive a penalty. I don't think there have even been any center-line ball battles yet, so maybe this is a pre-emptive effort to stop something?
The only thing I guess that this could effect would be that teams that have 2 ball autos or 2 ball auto defensive strategies could now be at risk for yellow cards. If that is truly the intent, that really disappoints me because effective autonomous routines are some of the most inspirational things in FRC.
