My theory:
What if the game will turn out to be CTF, but we won't play with flags.
No, we're going to play with something even harder to manipulate: Rubber chickens.
Those duck's in the background aren't an army, they are a truck load of game pieces being dumped.

This video reminded me vaguely of a Monty Python film set. Perhaps the matches will begin "3...2...1...Ni!"

Re: Security Breach at Kickoff Filming
 

It's not impossible.

:p

Re: Security Breach at Kickoff Filming
 

The game pieces are ducks!!! :yikes: :ahh:

It's kinda funny how staged it is. :P

Re: Security Breach at Kickoff Filming
 

My guess based on the evidence is that each alliance starts out with a castle... made of lego bricks or some such. Then a certain amount of ammunication. You have to shoot down the opposing alliance's castle to capture their flags.

So your alliance would have to rebuild the castle while destroying theres. We'd have defense and offense and build. Teams that worked alone would not have enough time to do it all.

Re: Security Breach at Kickoff Filming
 

NO! The game pieces are Barbary Hens! For cannot you also build a Stronghold out of stone?

Quite a ways back, I noted how the manipulators on robot in the teaser video seemed appropriate to build a structure of Lego blocks.

As for some who has worked field reset before that would be a nightmare to rest for every single match especially if you have to get through 204 qualification matches oh the horror it would be to reset unless they are big like gigantic Lagos it would be horrible to reset.
I think I have made my point

To quote from one of the best movies of all time (Animal House):

Re: Security Breach at Kickoff Filming
 

No, I think it's a sample standard that they put on the field to show the way the field will look like with the standards.

Re: Security Breach at Kickoff Filming
 

Quartering of a shield or flag is a traditional way of combining two or more different shields/flags into one. To most in the U.S. the most likely examples you've seen would be the flag of Maryland and the Crest of Hogwarts. It should be noted that quartered devices are read from top right (of the shield bearer, not the viewer) to the left, then down. From the point of view of someone looking at the flag, it's read in the same order as English, making sable (black) the first color to be listed in the description.

Re: Security Breach at Kickoff Filming
 

So I don't think that anybody actually reviewed the admin manual for the potential hidden game hint (though I don't know this for a fact, I've never read previous admin manuals this closely):

"Friendly interaction between machines is acceptable, if all teams are willing". I read this to mean that interaction is optional in this game - but possible and would be friendly, not heavy defensive play.

This of course could be nothing....

Re: Security Breach at Kickoff Filming
 

This is a standard line in the admin manual. Basically, practice matches are intended to be practice--defense, leave the offense alone!--but part of that practice can include interaction (coop, defense, etc) if everybody involved is willing.

However, when quals roll around, all bets are off. Any defense not banned by the manual may be applied regardless of whether or not the team it's applied to wants it.

Again, standard section in the manual, nothing to see here.

Re: Security Breach at Kickoff Filming
 

Fairly certain this is the normal language. Also, this describes most games. If you really didn't want to interact in most years you can. But you will usually score better by interacting with the other teams (offense and defense). I wouldn't read too much into it.

Edit: One more thing. There is at least one thread if not more dedicated to the release of the Administrative Manual. You should post things related to it in there, not in the thread about the video they released.
