There is no way you can have a sliding scale of punishment.

You can give direction at the plate conference but it does not change the rules.

Gate open for whatever reason, whichever team, under any circumstances equals the same punishment.

Scold them if you want . . . but you cannot change the rules.

T,
I certainly agree with one punishment regardless of who "forgot".
With few gates (maybe two gates, not two fields) U.P. here, we consider the openings to be ground rule holes in the fence and a one base award.
And not to worry. I'm not a scolder, I'm too old for that tripe. And heaven forbid I abuse any rule because of *ingnorance*.
