Considering the "rules" get muddy every year when all the lawyers break into full swing, usually because they hadn't been thought through enough for 1000's of people to poke holes in. It gets very easy to find yourself somewhere you shouldn't be. Also with the on the fly Q&A board developing things independent of the original documentation again you find yourself with justifiable circumstances in soooo many Grey's. I just don't think FIRST has covered itself well in the past. I've been guilty of treading uncertain ground because frankly I didn't "know" what the rules were. So in that respect I can't see hanging a whole team because someone goofed, or even made a bad or wrong decision. I would think like Sandrag said, we're dealing with a good element of folks. The better side of people will prevail in all this, along with a conscience. After you have companies investing some big bucks into this endeavor only to find someone threw wrench in the works and caused the donation to be void. I think that would be a HUGE mistake on FIRST's part. I do think the rules need teeth, but definitely go light on the team as a whole. I could go along with playing Dave's favorite albums or something, also making public announcements, like "so and so did this and we informed them of the infraction, please do not make this mistake". I dunno...
