Not in a competition match, but I recall practice day at the Detroit Regional, Rack-n-Roll. No robot showed up for one of the alliances - and they won anyway, 2-0! (One of the HP's flung a ringer onto the rack.)
I don't think KK needs to have any worry about a significant loss of corporate profits from Dave's wager.
Back to Hawk's mathematical argument, the wording of <G14> is "more than twice" and "more than triple" the opponent's score. Given a wierd fluke that a team manages to defy all odds and does score zero, the other alliance's non-zero score is clearly "more than triple" that zero. Three times zero is zero.
I've been trying to figure how low the lowest scores will be. I too am convinced that most teams will be able to sink at least one or two balls by their PS at the beginning of the match. Add in another couple of lucky shots later in the match, and even an alliance with three robots that can't score should still get a minimum of 10 points.
