rather have 237 on the ground, then keeping other people off the bar.
What about intentionally ramming 45 as they get ready to put the 2x
ball on a goal full of 15 balls. As long as you ram then 7 times or
less (and keep them from placing the ball) you've come out ahead.

Even if it was 100 points for an intentional tip, it wouldn't be that
hard for 2 good offensive teams to beat the 1 remaining team, where
they might not have been able to if both were there. If it were 200
points, you might as well DQ, the team.

I agree with what your saying, but I also partially agree with him in the fact that there should be some sort of severity between penalties. Whether it be certain penalties hurt you(and you alone) in your next match(you only get half the QPs from your next match of something) or purely take away QPs form your ranking, and lesser penalties only DQ you, I dunno. But we need something to seperate knocking over a team and ripping out a teams wiring.
