D. TEAM STANDARDS and devices, if needed, to assist placement in the Standard Holder

E. special clothing and/or equipment required due to a disability

D. Allows you to bring a step stool to place your standard and does not require you to remove it from the driver station

E. Allows you to bring a step stool provided the ref's agree that being short is a direct hindrance on your ability to play the game

Also I noticed someone has already submitted it to the Q/A so we will know for sure soon.

OK, guys. I've got a couple of notes for ya.

First, that item is "if needed" on the standard. Driver's station is roughly 6.5' tall. MANY people can reach that high without much effort--slap the sill of a normal doorway, you're probably good. Reaching that high with a standard might be a bit more difficult, but should be doable.

Second, if you are ACTUALLY disabled by being short (as in, short enough to trigger ADA--there are, in fact, regulations on this), then you can make the argument that you need the stool (though you might get the wheelchair ramp instead). However, if you're just "not tall enough to see the field", that is NOT a disability! If, for example, someone under 5' is on the drive team, they'd probably have a good case for the stool. If the entire drive team is over 6'? Not a chance.


And also, I should remind you guys: SPY. Use him/her.
