Rule <SG6> states only Match Affecting violations should be considered during Elimination Matches (i.e., repeated <SG6> Minor Violations in Elimination Matches do not compound to Major Violations). Does this ruling on minor violations apply to only <SG6>, or can we apply the statement to all minor violations? For example, if a team were to briefly cross the plane of an opponents goal with a ziptie, earning them a <SG8> minor violation, would these minor violations compound to a major violation?
