Go to Post To help keep the kids on top of their game, I remind them that the school board considers a grade of 97 an A , so we can lose 3% of the kids and still be considered excellent. - DonRotolo [more]

For some of the people signing this you don't seem to realize what happens if both stacks are taken out. Both sides get hardly any elimination points and then lose the chance of getting in the top eight. Team 386 will ask to keep both stacks up and will not sign this code of honor because we have had this happen before and the score was 6-1 with us winning but only getting 8 QP's. it is not fair to the teams in the top eight who worked hard to get there and end up getting 1-3 matches like this and end up losing their spot and even if possible lose their chance in the finals. I could see not fixing matches in the quarters,semis, and finals but during regular competition I see where it is needed. I would think twice if I was the teams signing this if I were you.

TEAM VOLTAGE
Fixing matches, means:

Someone approaches you and offers to let you get a high score if you agree to not knock their stacks down and not interfere, basically it's 4 robots working together, wiht only 2 getting an awesomely high score. It's kinda like cheating allthough there is no rule against it. Now everyone wants to get a high score, but it should be done fairly and without collaboration from your opponents. Every team that has signed this says that it is quite obvious that you wouldn't want to knock over stacks in qualifying rounds, unless you had to in order to win. Obviously if you're winning by 100 points with a minute to go, you'll stay away from their stacks for the extra multiplier. Team 74, allthough not in curie will not make any agreements, because we don't think it's a fair way to play the game. Had we made agreements we might not have lost our last 2 qualifying matches, and would have stayed at the #3 seed, instead of dropping to #6. So, even though we lost a better seed, we were happy that the outcomes of the matches reflected the ability of our robot, and that is was done fairly. And if a top 8 team is worried about losing their spot, they should work with their alliance partner to win, othrewise they don't deserve to be a top 8 seed.
