Re: Most Common Foul

Dropping the Lift Handle out the port hole and then reaching after it to try and catch it will net you a yellow card. It will happen a lot. I hope I am wrong.

I totally understand why this is a safety issue, I just wish the system was better designed such that this didn't happen. Maybe a backup rope that's tied to the lift handle, and is held in the airship by a guide, almost like those pen-chains they have at banks. That way you could just pull on this rope to get your handle back.

Sigh Such is life.

I remember that

IIRC both were for walking/jumping over defenses... Worst part was that it was right before their tiebreaker match, which resulted in the match to be played having to be "bypassed" (FMS magic) as neither alliance wanted to play a match where the outcome was pre-determined (since red cards outside of a match apply to the next match, not the match last played). Sad situation, but the rules are the rules.

Re: Most Common Foul

My mistake on the clearing of yellow cards. I have to admit I don't look at the card rules as much as others as we try really hard not to need them.

I must say that that's one of the best reasons I've ever heard for NOT reading part of the rules...

@ratdude: Had the same thing at an offseason, except it was the same team, on either end of a timeout. Same person from that team, too, I think. Though I should point out that for 2017, cards apply to the current (or just-completed) match--that is, the one that you're on the field for.
