Can you confirm my understanding of that?

I also assume that if a small ball were de-scored from team A, that team B would get the 10pt penalty, and team A would still get their original 5pts for that ball.
Sorry, I know this isn't the original intent of thread, but wanted to bring up the point and have it verified.....

If you goaltend, as in using the robot to block or aid a ball into the goal, your alliance will be fined 10pts (blue/green or red/green flag). The first version said that for goaltending that the opposite alliance of the robot goaltending will given twice the ball's point value. That was striked out and replaced with the first sentence I posted.
