Interesting rule calls from the Detroit District

[Chris Fultz]

<G23> Contact (via ROBOT or GAME PIECE) with the opposing ALLIANCE‟S TOWERS is prohibited. Violation: PENALTY plus RED CARD

<G61> The actions of an ALLIANCE shall not cause an opposing ALLIANCE to violate a rule and thus incur PENALTIES. Any rule violations committed by the affected ALLIANCE shall be excused, and no PENALTIES will be assigned.
Unless otherwise noted, all PENALTIES assigned by referees are applied to the entire ALLIANCE.

G61 does not apply to G23. We were pushed into a tower at WI and received the card. Discussions with the ref confirmed that G61 does not apply in this case (I am sure it is written somewhere - I will find it). Message is - stay away from the towers.
