Re: World record for penalties in one game

Our alliance lost the second round of the NJ finals due to a 14 point penalty assessed on us (our only loss). Our human player accidentally (quickly) dropped the ball over the field wall into the playing field and therefore never activated the timing sensor and letting the dogma penalty rack up. Since the ball was out of reach we couldn't retrieve it. We would have won the round something like 12-6

Eventually we won the third match of the finals (with a broken machine) so it worked out in the end.

But I question this however- isn't there a 2 pt penalty with yellow card for dropping the ball over the wall? Why did the DOGMA penalty build up if the ball was obviously back in play? Why were we assessed so many points?

Overall the incident galvanized our team and gave the crowd a real thrill. I never saw so many people cheering at a penalty. Thanks guys....
