Re: Know the Rules, Read the Rules.

The most common (and most easily preventable) penalty I saw was outpost players throwing the empty cell over the wall instead of through the hole. There was probably anywhere from 30-35 of these penalties called at the regional I attended and once a HP committed 4 such penalties during a single match. The other penalty I saw a good amount of was harvesting more then one empty cell at a time. This one can be much harder to prevent since the moon rocks and empty cells look very similar from a distance if your not looking carefully. Make sure your drive team and HP know all the rules before they go on the field because penalties can cost your team the match.
