Re: Alliance Selection Rules
I'm glad someone finally brought this up.
We saw this rule for the first time at DC and although I heard the announcement "no electronics on the field"... I sort of assumed it meant no cell phones, as I had seen plenty of teams with laptops at other regionals. Our printer wasn't working and we couldn't get our list printed, so I sent our student with a laptop. The field crew sent the laptop back and we panicked trying to handwrite everything and all the notes... fortunately we ended up in 16th not 12th like we were when we were prepping the student, so it became a non-issue, but it seems unfair. I don't like how much they are discouraging using technology for a technology competition. I get the timeframe thing, and maybe even if people thought it was "rude" to be talking on a cell phone... but using a laptop that was used for all of your scouting and alliance selection work??
Im with those that think it needs to be consistent across all the regionals.
