Re: Suffield Shakedown Scrimmage Pre-Season Event

Durign the competition, the officials made a big deal about exchanging the free cells for the super cell directly opposite it on the rack. They even imposed penalties for not following this nit-picky procedure. I just re-read the rules and I could not find this requirement. Rule <g22> reads as follows:

... During the last 20 seconds of the MATCH, each EMPTY CELL in the FUELING STATION may be exchanged for a SUPER CELL. ...

notice it says "a SUPER CELL" - it does not specify any particular super cell.

I think the teams that were un-duly penalized are owed an apology.
