Ok let me pose a different situation with very similar circumstances, but hopefully less emotions involved. At GTR we faced 379, 48, and 1006 in the quarter finals, a very similar pushing match happened while we were trying to score on the rack. Luckily our arm did not allow for the type of movement (yay worm gears!) that 1114's did, and it did not seriously damage our arm (though it was banged up).

The situation was that we were trying to score and you can see from about 1:18 to about 1:40 'pushing' against us while we were trying to score, Effectively pinning us. This is very similar to the situation that happened against 1114 on the Curie field. Should this have been called pinning, because that is the question that I have been arguing with people for the last couple hours over this situation.
I thought I would propose we discuss this question over a less emotional match (in no way am I mad or angry at 48 over our match against them, hey we won the match). I am just trying to maybe propose a situation where the situation is the same but the end result is not as ugly.
The way things generally work in cases like this is simple: if you know something, you can't say it. So keep in mind that if someone does say something, it usually means they don't know. - Alan Anderson [more]
