I think only one team getting DQ'd in Qualifications is a good idea. However since you do get to choose your partenrs for Eliminations the entire alliance should be disqualified.

Our Quater Final Match In New York exposed a problem with they're DQ rules. The Pius Princesses, not fully understanding the rules, put a crate under team 19's robot and disabled it. They were disqualified but because they won the match before they got to advance. We eventually got to replay the match because everyone agreed that it was only fair. But it exposed a serious problem. What if the other team intentionally disabled your robot somehow after they won the first match? They would get disqualified but they would advance.

I think they should ad some ability to replay Eliminations matches if the infraction was unintentional. But if it's blatant cheating or rule breaking they should be dropped from the Finals.
