Human players are costing points

I am totally fine with this being enforced this way IF they issue a Team Update or even a Q&A (but preferably an update) that clarifies that this is a rule punishable by penalty if violated.

The only place I can think of would be in the ref manual, or whatever their documentation of that sort is. Not being a ref, I don't have access to that, and a penalty of that nature should be in Section 7 of the Game Manual anyway.
And there certainly isn't a penalty called out, other than MAYBE egregious behavior (which is a card, not a penalty (<T05>)).

Has anyone asked Q&A?

::sigh:: lol
I didn't want to make this an issue, but if some competitions are enforcing this, & some aren't going to be because it's not written for teams & they are thus surprised by this penalty, then this is a bad situation.

I will get access to our team's Q&A Username & password & ask this there to be clarified.

I don't actually mind this being a penalty, but I would like to see this being stated officially somewhere - ya know?

If only it was myself who had missed it in the rules, I would think that's ok, & not a big deal, but if the majority of CD members thoughts here is that it is not in the rules, but is being penalized (which it has been at events I've been to since the Scrimmage before ship date) then I kinda have a big problem with that.

I shall report back to these forums when I get the answer!
Until then.

Edit: I just submitted the question & am awaiting a reply.
