Re: Human players are costing points

At Jersey there were a ton of human player penalties, most of them were from people ignorant of the rules. I am one of the two human players on my team and neither of us got a penalty.

Here are the main penalties I saw:

1. Tossing Empty cells - it has to go through the hole

2. When delivering Empty cell the human - Your hand can not enter the field
players hand went through the hole in anyway

3. Getting out of the chair before the match - you have to stay seated

4. Not using the tongs

5. The tongs extending on to the field - The tongs like your hands can
not enter the field


6. Tossing Super cells without empty cells - Need the empty cell

7. Tossing Super cells before last 20 seconds

8. Tossing wrong Super cell - You have to toss the super cell directly across -
from the empty cell you put on the rack
This is what I was told so I'm not sure how many
penalties occurred in regard to this, but double
check with your refs.

A lot of teams lost because of their human player. I saw close wins become huge defeats just because of penalties (sometimes as many as five penalties). So make sure you talk to your alliance partners because these penalties add up very fast.
