1) How do you figure it's covered by R10-4-4? There's no mention of a "fight" anywhere in R10-4-4. It doesn't matter where in the rulebook that you find the word "fight" anyway. A " fight" is still defined in R4-18 as always being between two opponents. If players do come on the floor because a "fight may break out", then that "fight" has to be between opponents, not fans.

2) I'm referencing team members leaving the "bench area" in R10-4-4. There's no mention of a "fight" in that article. You're referencing R10-4-5, a completely different article. R10-4-4 and 10-4-5 have different penalties. There's no mention of just one technical foul penalty being administered anywhere in R10-4-4PENALTY.
