The way my own team, team 492, was able to stay away from loosing matches based on penalties was that we talked to every alliance member we had before the match, telling them what exactly the penalties were, and how we needed them too avoid them.

That depends on what you mean by "fairly". The other team did not do those things, such as there human player picking up a foot, and they followed the brand new penalty.

I happen to agree with you that the penalties were to harsh, but as long as the were enforced equally they were not unfair.
