212: What happens to a cap if sg8 is violated?
Answered by Game Design Committee
First, to be clear, shooting Balls at Caps is not considered a legal strategy. Please see this relevant similar Q&A post: https://www.robotevents.com/VRC/2018-2019/QA/197
will the cap be placed back on the post scored for blue due to the violation?
There is no precedent in the Game Manual for "un-doing" an action mid-Match because the action was the result of a rules violation. Instead, the Head Referee should determine if the action was Match Affecting, and assign a warning or a Disqualification accordingly.
However, please note in the linked Q&A above, this particular action should result in an <S1> violation and a potential Disqualification at the Head Referee's discretion, regardless of if the action was Match Affecting or not.
