What does your team do during the first few days?

[Andrew]

Saturday, we will discuss strategy alone - as I found last season that some students on the team didn't grasp the concept of the game until weeks after regionals began. This year, I want to make sure that everyone understands the nuances of scoring so as to be sure that mechanism designs are coming from knowledgeable groups with an understanding of how to play the game.

This year, we're going to have two written tests, one on the game rules, the other on strategy. Those who want to be part of the strategy sessions or driving squad are going to have to score a minimum on these tests.

We've had the same problem every year, where even the drivers have not necessarily read the rules!
