I did not see any comm issues until that time of the tournament. Many mentors are infuriated because we believe that the issues were caused by an outside source.

What evidence led you to believe this was caused by an outside source?

What rule did the other team violate in pushing you across the field?

You don't remember correctly. Touching an opponent who's in contact with their pyramid is a 3 point penalty. If the contact is "consequential," it is a technical foul (20 pt). Only if the contact interferes with an attempt to hang are 30 climb points awarded (not foul points).
