The following rule changes for the Kettering Kick Off.

The committee approved the rules changes as amended below....

Re-scoring on a spider leg that had a Ringer removed
INTENT: If a Ringer is removed and the Leg is scored again by the same color Ringer, the Leg will count as scored for that alliance.
Instead of being called "null" and "negated" as defined in <G15>, this leg will count for that color. Removing Ringer penalties still apply. If a Ringer is removed and later a Ringer of the opposite color is placed on the same spider leg, that leg will be scored for the color of the removed Ringer. A Spoiler would negate either condition. (Approved as-is.)

Robots can touch and be supported, but not totally supported, by Ringers, the players station wall, field side rails, or any other field piece and still receive bonus lift point.
Alliance Selection – 2nd and 3rd rounds
The alliance selection process will be as such:

Round 1: 1st seed, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th
Round 2: 1st seed, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th
Round 3: 8th seed, 7th, 6th, 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st (Deleted)
