Re: My case against <G14>

The thing that bothers me the most about G14 is that there is no language indicating that it doesn't apply to elimination matches as well. Consider this scenario:

Your alliance is up against an alliance of similar or better strength in the elimination rounds. You narrowly win the first match. During the second match, it becomes apparent that your alliance is losing, so you throw a couple of super cells in before the 20-second mark, causing 40 points in penalties and dropping your score down to zero. Now you have an advantage in the third match, since the other alliance can't score two of their super cells.
