G204      *Letting someone coerce you into 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.

G203      *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.

G205      *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.

G211      *Don’t expect to gain by doing others harm. A strategy clearly aimed at forcing the opponent ALLIANCE to violate a rule is not in the spirit of FIRST Robotics Competition and not allowed. Rule violations forced in this manner will not result in an assignment of a penalty to the targeted ALLIANCE.
