Newton Final 2: Reason for disqualification

[Nuttyman54]

I suppose since this thread's been revived, I should clarify:

I did not mean that 1592 intentionally tipped 987. I have the utmost respect for their team and they were great and gracious opponents.

I was under the impression that the refs had called it as intentional tipping, however since I was not on the field, this is second-hand information. It very well may have been out of bumper zone contact. My apologies for not being clearer.

You are correct- the refs did call it intentional tipping. So even though there is a complicated story about how it all came about (and how it wasn't intentional), that answers the asker's question: the penalty announced was for intentional tipping.

Heh, I completely forgot I even started this thread. Oh well, forgotten question answered!
