Re: [FTC]: Rev 6 of Game Manual Changes Rules on Plastic and Aluminum Sheets

JesseK,

At our tournament, Q&A's trump the game manual. Date is not an issue. If FIRST has changed its mind and wants to disallow something they have specifically OK'ed on multiple occasions, they will need to issue a further Q&A invalidating the posts listed above.

If you really want to split hairs, "not more than 1 sheet" will disqualify teams that have cut a sheet in half as they now have multiple sheets. Shall we enforce this rule?

That said, I don't believe that it is FIRST's intent to make a massive rule change. Changing rules by stealth 3 days before the first tournaments is simply inconsistent w/FIRST's credo. I still think it is simply an issue of poor wording in an attempt to clear up a previous ambiguity.

But, as I said above, check w/FIRST for an official ruling.
