One fear I have is that by codifying punishments for things that simply should_not_happen, you might in effect make them part of the game. In many sports, for instance (I play lacrosse), penalties are assumed to be part of the game, and calculated risk is part of the strategy. No one wants to see first head down that path. I think that if punishments are spelled out at all they should be brief and simple, and give discretion to the event supervisors. I don't personally see a need for further regulations cluttering the books, though. In my experience with FIRST I have never encountered a situations like this that I didn't feel was properly handled.
