It is possible to adjust (or vary the normal adjustment of) the score of
a contestant deemed responsible for the spectator.  It is also possible
to discipline the responsible party.  If no contestant is responsible for
the spectator then one can still fine/ban/suspend from future competition
that spectator.

But currently they *are* defined as "deviations from correct procedure"
and that is the standard I will use.
