The points value of the Golden Boulder is twice that of a normal ball (4 for low, 10 for high). However, the Golden Boulder only weakens the tower by one ball's worth.

It does not add any strength to the tower.

Thank you! My confusion on how the golden boulder affected the tower stemmed from the sentence: "Each GOLDEN BOULDER scored will do -1 DAMAGE to the TOWER."
The wording of this sentence had lead me to think that that the tower would take -1 damage for each golden boulder scored, increasing its health by 1.
Thanks for clarifying.

Is there any chance there would be a practice goal set up somewhere near the pits?

[Brian Maher]

Will there be a web stream?

[Brandon Holley]

Webcast is live on NEFIRST Red's Twitch stream: https://www.twitch.tv/nefirst_red

Isn't it a little late for that?

For those of us who couldn't make it to the event this year, what were the alliances and who took the win?

Let me try and grab the full alliances - but the event winners were 195, 2648 and 9877 (Team 2877s 2nd robot).

Kudos to the Nutrons for putting on a great event. And high praise for bowing out of the alliance selection when there were only 25 teams! Definitely a prime display of GP.

BTW some of the matches can be seen on the LigerBots youTube channel:
