In your opinion, if a safety/legality deduction occurs UNINTENTIONALLY, should the team be given the penalty?
For example: In a pyramid, a flyer needs to be braced at both arms to make the skill legal. If the side flyer falls and doesn't get back into her prep in time to connect to the mid flyer, but the mid flyer executes the skill anyway, braced at only one arm.
Think about it. Did you decide?
Now let me ask you, does your decision change based on whether the penalty affects the overall placements of teams? Say, the deduction does NOT change anything and placements stay the same, does that change anything?
I have my own opinion on this, but want to hear others!!
