Re: Human players are costing points

One of the most important of these penalties occurred yesterday during the finals of the LA regional. The penalty was incurred on the 597 1717 and 294 alliance in finals match 1. As a result, they lost by 2 points. They went on to win the second match, but lost the 3rd. Without that penalty, the outcome of the regional would likely have been different.

Be careful human players. Most of the finals matches I'm seeing are being decided by a small point margin. Penalties, though rare, are going to be very costly.
