Hi Frankie,

as pointed out in previous posts, this used to be an official tournament shortcut, but it is not the case anymore. It has been several years since it was removed from MTR.

Apologies then. I just recently reacquired Judge status and have not caught up on all changes that have happened during my time off.

In that case, my answer becomes no trample damage goes through and no penalties are given.
