Background
Teams should not be removed from the competition too early because the same disqualifying condition is applied unchanged to a second attempt. The organization agreed to revise how penalties and disqualifications are handled on second attempts. The discussion started with start-box violations, but the resulting regulations change should explicitly define its intended general scope.
Agreed direction
- A violation that causes disqualification on the first attempt must not automatically cause another full disqualification under unchanged conditions on the second attempt.
- The regulations must explicitly identify which violations and disciplines use revised second-attempt consequences.
- The existing scheduling rule for second attempts remains a separate concern.
Scope
- inventory every regulations section that defines first- and second-attempt penalties;
- identify which disqualifications receive a reduced or alternative consequence on the second attempt;
- define the exact second-attempt consequences;
- keep scheduling and waiting-time rules separate from penalty handling;
- update scoring and referee documentation consistently.
Acceptance criteria
Related but not duplicate: #3 — Zweitversuch only covers scheduling of second attempts.
