G11 and G28 Technicalities

I'm going to make two statements here.

The first is that "Contact", when used as a verb, (very important) carries the implication that X is taking the action to make contact with Y. NOT the other way around.

The second is that a team that uses other rules to rack up penalties on their opponents is in fact using a strategy, and is in violation of G11. If there is a legitimate reason to take an action that causes an opponent to get a foul, then G11 wouldn't apply (most likely). If there is no legitimate reason, G11 applies. Whether or not G11 applies is going to be heavily context-dependent.



By the way, we've been discussing this in other threads since Kickoff. If 5-6 threads full of disagreement on one item isn't enough to ensure a change in TU#1, I don't know what is.
