Re: Team Update #21
For years now 1675 has had a small group in the stands with scouting data and a big dry erase board to relay team numbers to the person on the field.

Re: Team Update #21
Once you've decided that <T25> and <T26> aren't restricted to match play, they disallow a heck of a lot of things we all take for granted that have been legal at just about every regional I can think of. Just to belabor the point, here's a brief list of things that I'll be expecting you to leave behind when you enter the ARENA, no matter when that is:
On another note, exactly what was your proposed enforcement method to penalize a team for bringing a camera on field during the Saturday Awards? Revoke their award and assign it to another team on the spot? Oh, and no pleading that it doesn't apply to awards ceremonies for some reason. You've decided it applies to the ARENA period, with no limit on the timeframe. That's possibly supportable in the text of the rules. You can't support "just MATCHES and ALLIANCE SELECTION" anymore than we could support "just MATCHES". Somewhat less, in fact, since we have precedent and a Q&A ruling on our side. |

Re: Team Update #21
Is there really being a discussion about this?
Laptops, IPads, Cell Phones, use a Supercomputer if you want... Come on, as long as the picks are made in a timely manner everything is good. If you are that annoyed by this, I think you have bigger issues here. |

Re: Team Update #21
Yes, there is really being a discussion about this. Some regional events have imposed "house rules" prohibiting the use of phones and laptops by the team representatives during alliance selection. Those rules are not supported by the Game Manual, and they are explicitly contradicted by the GDC, but they exist.

You really need to download an updated manual <T25> was changed in TU13. Here are the current versions:Quote:
Everyone, if you haven't downloaded a manual since March 22 please download the updated version. Rules are in flux all season and it is important to keep everyone on the same page to avoid confusion. Also, please take extra care to ensure correctness when quoting the manual on any forum. Last edited by The Lucas : 05-04-2011 at 22:59. Reason: Found TU13 |

Re: Team Update #21
Additionally, in your original post the rule (<T26>) you quoted talked about the ALLIANCE STATION. The ALLIANCE STATION is not the FIELD.
In my experience alliance selection does not occur in the ALLIANCE STATION (correct me if I'm wrong here). |

Re: Team Update #21
This thread is blowing my mind. As someone who has been on the field for alliance selections several times, I have never been at a regional where they havent specifically said before alliance selections began, "turn off your phones."
I guess this is more prevalent in the north east but I have always hated that regionals do this and am very glad to see now that what they are doing is in fact against the rules. I hope it stays this way so that next year I can say to the people telling the student on the field to turn off their phone, "here is the rule" and that will hopefully end that. |

Specifically, we had an iPad and had to quickly write it on a piece of paper with team numbers but NO notes. I'm glad an update came out. I cant see how any team would have a competitive advantage, when in fact, they themselves do their homework in scouting teams during qualifications. |

This is 2011! those days of a dry erase board and marker are easily replaced with personal electronic do-it-all devices. Time to get with the program. ![]() |

Re: Team Update #21
At the Connecticut Regional, they were very explicit about disallowing all electronic devices during Alliance Selections

Re: Team Update #21
Computers were allowed in Vegas, but the teams who used them were basically mocked, which I find to be rather sad, honestly.

Re: Team Update #21
I don't recall the exact words, but the announcer was basically, "And look at that. Another laptop." and generally teasing the teams that used laptops. At least, that's how it sounded to me.
