The 2010 Beantown Blitz Rule Additions:

-The Beantown Blitz will use all standard Breakaway rules, with the addition of the "golden soccer ball" rules listed below.

Golden Soccer Ball Rules:
-The alliance who scores more points in autonomous mode will be awarded control of the "golden soccer ball".
-The "golden soccer ball" will be placed on a pedestal next to one of the ball corrals for the alliance. The human player occupying that particular corral will be responsible for manipulation of the "golden soccer ball" and its entering to the field.
-The golden soccer ball WILL NOT be initially entered onto the field via the trident and ball return, it will be entered onto the field directly over the alliance station wall (this will avoid issues with the scoring system). After being scored, the golden soccer ball will act as a normal ball and be returned via trident and ball return.
-Each score of a "golden soccer ball" will be worth 2 points.
-If the red and blue alliances end autonomous in a tie, the "golden soccer ball" will be entered into the midfield zone with 1:00 minute remaining in the match.
-All standard Breakaway rules pertaining to control, manipulation and scoring of a ball will apply to the "golden soccer ball" as well.

6 days til the Blitz!
