Re: November 3, 2007 Brunswick Eruption 6

Update for everyone.

Brunswick eruption is full as Mr. Cokeley mentioned. The full list of teams can be seen here. We currently have 33 FIRST teams and 5 PRE-ROOKIES. Total of 38 teams - this is more than our quota .

We have also decided on a few rule changes/clarifications. They can be viewed here.
Quote:
Rules and Regulations:
This tournament will follow the same rules as the Rack 'n' Roll game. Here are a few additions and clarifications:
1) Draft for the Elimination Rounds - the normal Serpentine Draft of FIRST competitions will be used. The top 8 alliances will pick two permanent partners for the elimination rounds. The remaining teams will be eligible for entry into the elimination tournament in the event of a robot disability as per FIRST rules. Teams can pick others in the top eight as in normal FIRST play but are encouraged to do otherwise.
2) Refereeing standards will be at the discretion of the Head Referee and his committee.
3) Elimination rounds will be "Best Two out of Three". Two wins and the alliance moves on.
4) The Autonomous Reward - We are borrowing a good idea from the Battle of Baltimore. At the end of the autonomous period each vertical column with a tube placed on it will be completed with 1-2 bonus tubes to fill the column. These tubes will act as “wild card tubes” and will be available for BOTH alliances (simultaneously if necessary) in their HORIZONTAL rows. A Spoiler can be placed to negate a “wild card tube”. ( similar to the “Crabby Tubes” from BoB.)
5) Ramps and Tubes - Ramps will not be allowed to be supported by tubes on the floor. However a non-supportive tube under a ramp will not be penalized.
There is also a Toy Drive and Evil Sundae eating contest and Nintendo Wii give away...

This event is turning out to be a lot of fun. I know a lot of people are busy doing a lot of work back stage so it will be good. See you all there.
