<GG15>
Offensive Robots get the “benefit of the doubt” when judgment calls are required. In a case where a Head Referee is forced to make a judgment call regarding a destructive interaction between a Defensive and Offensive Robot, or an interaction which results in a questionable Violation, referees will decide in favor of the Offensive Robot. This also applies during the Autonomous Period (see <SG7a>). This rule is intended to be a “logical tiebreaker” for use only when referees cannot make a clear and definitive ruling without it. It should not be used or applied in every situation. Most Violations should be resolved without considering this rule. Head Referees must apply judgment when determining whether each Robot in a <GG15> interaction was Defensive or Offensive, and in some cases may need to consider which Robot was more Defensive or Offensive than another within the larger context of the Match. In these cases, the Head Referee should decide in favor of the less Defensive and/or more Offensive Robot based on the definitions and guidance in this game manual.
