Re: YMTC: Is it goaltending?

Some definitions from the Game rules...
Goaltending:
A ROBOT cannot interfere with a SMALL ball on its downward flight toward a goal or within a goal.
Robot:
Anything (which has passed inspection) that a team places on the field prior to the start of a match.

The goaltending rule:
<G20> ROBOTS cannot GOAL TEND either the Mobile or Stationary Goals. If a ROBOT GOALTENDs or de-SCORES any SMALL ball, the referee will throw a red/green or blue/green 10-point penalty flag for each occurrence.

I don't understand how anyone can interpret the rules to mean that only 1 robot can be called for goaltending at a time. I also don't see where it says that a robot can not be flagged for goaltending if they are in front of their own stationary or mobile goal.
