: Score rule 6 states that the team that has the rack on its side of the field will double the score. In the qualifying rounds the goal and operators station is on the same side of the field and 'its' side is obvious. In the elimination rounds the goal is opposite the starting and operators side of the field. Is 'its' side the goal side or the operators side?
Joe has revised the original picture, but in addition to the picture - just remember in the seeding matches the objective is to drive across the field and retrieve your colored balls and return them to your side of the field (as designated by the goal - it will be obvious, as we are intending on putting a matching colored beacon on the 2 blue and 2 red goals) In the elimination matches, the objective is changed in that each alliance already has balls in scoring position (32 points worth) and therefore the objective has a twist to it. The side of the field is based on the goal, not the starting position or location of the humans - their position relative to the side that is designated as theirs, is consequential. Again, at the break between the seeding and elimination matches we will be re-setting ramps and beacons accordingly! And you are just gonna love the continuous scoring that Joe and Bruce has cooked up!
