H111 Don't violate rules for Ranking Points. A Team or ALLIANCE may not collude with their OPPONENT to each purposefully violate a rule in an attempt to earn each ALLIANCE a Ranking Point.

Violation: YELLOW CARD, and ALLIANCES are ineligible for SUSTAINAIBLITY and ACTIVATION BONUSES.

For example, if Team A on the blue ALLIANCE agrees with Team F on the red ALLIANCE that they will both remove GAME PIECES from an opposing NODE, violating G405, to incur only a FOUL and each gain a SUSTAINABILITY BONUS Ranking Point.

H105 *Asking other teams to throw a Match not cool. A team may not encourage an Alliance, of which it is not a member, to play beneath its ability.

H107 *Throwing your own MATCH is bad. A team may not intentionally lose a MATCH or sacrifice Ranking Points in an effort to lower their own ranking or manipulate the rankings of other teams.

H106 *Letting someone coerce you in to throwing a Match also not cool. A team, as the result of encouragement by a team not on their Alliance, may not play beneath its ability.

H110 Dont mess with GAME PIECES. Teams may not modify GAME PIECES in any way. Temporary deformation (e.g.to pre-load a ROBOT) is an exception to this rule.
