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.

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 and/or manipulate the rankings of other teams.

G210       *Do not expect to gain by doing others harm. Actions clearly aimed at forcing the opponent ALLIANCE to violate a rule are not in the spirit of FIRST Tech Challenge and not allowed. Rule violations forced in this manner will not result in an assignment of a penalty to the targeted ALLIANCE.

G206       *Don't violate rules for RPs. A team or ALLIANCE may not collude with another team to each purposefully violate a rule in an attempt to influence RANKING POINTS.
