Re: Off Side Penalty?

Good reply DjAlamose - thanks for keeping this thread on the high road.

Look - there are going to many times when some ninnie dreams up a devious strategy that many will think is totally unprofessional and truely ungracious - when that happens teams will be given the real test of character - copy the ungracious behaviour or ignore it for the "high road".

Some live by a higher standard regardless of what the written rules say - some play the game by the rules, and what isn't written must be okay.

Once each team makes that decision, the greater masses at the event can then decide what they think about it - treat them like pariahs, ignore them, pick them as alliance partners, or whatever.

Sorry - I got off topic -
My answer to this is to "just don't push the opposition if they are "dead, disabled, or tipped over" - that is what I tell our drivers my expectation is of them. Legal or not, if that is the only way to win a match, I'd rather lose.
