Yeahhh....
<looks at user name of FIRST Forums Poster asking question>
That was me who asked that question.

I just had to clarify that before our first event (and I guess, cause some trouble along the way too - Didn't mean to do that, but I guess now that it's clarified, we shall proceed).
I'm just sorry for all the teams in week one who got whacked with a non-existent penalty.


Btw, I totally agree with the double penalty.
(The way I understood it before was as follows)
You could remove a Super Cell (without having an Empty Cell), throw it in a trailer, & get 15 points, but get a 10 point penalty.
Net gross = 5 points for you! - And that's not lawyering rules, that was just purely working the numbers.
No more though. Kinda sad actually, I was looking forward to taking advantage of that little loophole in the scoring to be honest if it ever came to it.
