What should teams do to avoid violations during matches?

Ensuring that teams are well-prepared and on time is essential to avoid violations during matches because it allows for proper adherence to established rules, procedures, and schedules. Teams that take the time to prepare adequately will have a better understanding of the game rules, which reduces the likelihood of committing violations that can result from confusion or miscommunication. Being on time also demonstrates professionalism and respect for the competition and its structure, allowing teams to reset their strategies or seek guidance from mentors or peers if needed, prior to the matches.

In contrast, relying on other teams for guidance may lead to misinformation if those teams have different interpretations of the rules. Prioritizing individual success over team success can create a scenario where rules are overlooked in the pursuit of personal achievements, increasing the risk of violations. Lastly, practicing only during the competition does not provide teams with enough time to familiarize themselves with the rules and their strategies, ultimately making them more susceptible to making mistakes during matches.
