Re: 2006 Penalties

There were a few offsides calls, but that was really about it. What really surprised me was the lack of ramming penalties. In the 2nd match of the finals, we fell, and kept getting hit repeatedly. We had two broken welds, our electronics box was sheared from its bolts in one corner, and our main breaker switch was in two pieces. It wasn't even mounted near where we were getting hit. For the last match of the finals, our back corner of the frame was held together with zip ties. I understand that it was supposed to be a rough game, but I didn't think it was supposed to be this rough. Personally, I think ramming should be called a little more often.
