Contact or not, the idea of going on the field is outrageous. It is extremely unsafe! For the amount of time and money FIRST spends to make sure their events are safe, and that they are promoting a safe culture, having anybody on the field during a match is just idiotic. Not that the game rules are the important part here, but it is also against the rules. If I were on the loosing alliance that match I would have demanded a rematch based on rule G17.
