Gitchi Gummi Get-Together 2016

[LFrisk]

We have yet another announcement/rule addition. This wasn’t posted with the other rule changes because it doesn’t directly pertain to how the game is played. We would like each time to have 3 drive teams at this event. The Gitchi Gummi is intended to be an event where students can practice driving and work on robots, not be very competitive. These three drive teams should be composed of people of different skill levels, not just the people who drove during the year. We will be referring to them as Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that you should be trying to rank your students. The Primary drive team will be playing team's 1st, 4th, 7th, 10th, 13th, and 16th matches. Secondary will be playing the team's 2nd, 5th, 8th, 11th, 14th, and 17th matches. Tertiary will be playing the 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th, 15th, 18th.

This does not necessarily include the drive coach if the drive coach is using the event to pick new drivers for the new season. The main focus is that as many people as possible get driving and human player experience.

In Playoffs, teams can choose who they want to drive.

If there are more students who wish to drive than will fit on the 3 drive teams, then it's fine if you switch students out. This event is to help students get drive time and experience at events. We want as many students as possible to get that experience.

If you don't have enough students for this many students, it's completely fine.

If anyone is willing to bring a practice robot to participate, please PM me and/or Zach101 ASAP. We need to have the matches finalized by the 17th..
