Re: Backup Coupon Warning

The operative word in Larry's quote is available.[1]

Is a team that packed up and bagged and tagged their robot available? Is a team that cannot be found available? Is the team that is in the middle of replacing their wheels/intake/whatever available? This could be a judgement call on the ref or whoever is trying to find the teams and I know the first two have been used as reasons to skip over teams that were next ranked.

[1] I also notice the word eligible. Is there a way to not be eligible as a back-up? I would not call being a back-up as being picked, so I would not enact the you cannot decline a pick and then later be picked by a difference alliance rule.
