This is what actually happened, nothing but the TRUTH.
The Shocker in question had a retail Dynasty Shocker board and was set at debounce 1. On the robot it would shoot anywhere from 2-10 additional shots when programmed to fire 20 times. The disqualification is officially due to "excessive bounce".
NOT RAMPING, NOT CHEATING, just bounce.
I was there. The PBN rumor mongers weren't.

Yep, that's a biggy. It means Entourage don't make it through to the Pro division next year!
Goes to show the risks...

So now the conspiracy theorists can start on this one too...
The whole second team thing wasn't exactly a popular decision, however legal it was, so now that they have been DQ'd the NPPL don't have that "problem" anymore.
Baca... where are you when we need a cynic!
I dont think they'll bother playing Div 1?
I think the general concensus is that they were doing it to have a place to sell next year to a side that misses out - NXL/Russkies or whatever.
