Was it nice? no. Was it legal? Yep. Was it GP? It's within the rules so yes.

Perhaps I have interpreted the definition of Entanglement wrong. I was looking more towards it's meaning of to ensnare, which I thought could be applied in this situation.
Also, a lot of my opinion and arguments were based on a post that was later deleted, stating that the intent of the defensive move was to put Thrust's robot in the goal and have them stay there for the rest of the match. If this were done again the offending team was going to be red-carded - to me it sounds like this defensive tactic was considered against the rules by the referees.
I think we're just going to have to agree to disagree here. Anyway, I think I'm done debating this point for now, I think it might get me into trouble. (If anyone would like to continue this feel free to PM me)
