Reason why NOT to throw litter into other alliance's field?

In the spirit of GP, the latter is not ok.

I cannot disagree more with this. This is really the only type of defense that can be done this year, and my money is on the fact that the GDC was aware of it. To say "throwing stuff on the field" is a bit misleading in this case, as that is exactly one of the functions of "this stuff". It is not as if the team is throwing totes on the field to break rules and disrupt stacks.

Every year, there seems to be a strategy that stretches the limit of Gracious Professionalism. I do not believe this is one of them, or even close. As a mentor and volunteer, I want the kids to want to win. I expect them to want to win. If there is a designed game function for creating chaos on the other side of the field and it helps them win, I hope they use it. The Gracious Professionalism comes in with how they deal with the actual outcome, whether it's a win or a loss.
