Re: Frustrations with Minor Technicalities
A random thought I had to make the rules more clear - keep the numbering consistent on common rules from year to year.
This might require a little creativity on the rule number scheme, but some rules might be easier to remember if they are in the same place all the time.
Unfortunately, this would probably add confusion when a rule is deleted for a particular year.
The main reason I thought of this is because I was thinking about how teams keep the same number each year. When I started, there were no numbers. When we were put into the pits at Epcot, we were arranged alphabetically. Then they started alphabetizing the team list and assigning a number. My team was a B, so we got 17 for the first numbered year, and 23 for the second. Then they decided to not change the numbers for teams that already had them. It greatly reduced confusion.
