3 Questions!!! (2/17/04)

Hi all, after a long weekend, its time to head into the final week of 3 Questions...

1. What year did FIRST start using platforms for drivers to put controls on?

2. What was the first seeding tiebreaker in 1998?

3. What was the tiebreaker that decided the final match in the 1996 National Competition?

Re: 3 Questions!!! (2/17/04)

Andy,

Just to clarify, by first seeding tiebreaker do you mean the first criteria used to break a tie if the primary criteria is tied OR the primary criteria itself?

E.g. This year, the primary criteria is Won-Loss record, with the first tiebreaker being accumulated losers score.

What I meant was the first tiebreaker AFTER win loss record, which was the primary criteria. I will give everyone who answered a chance to fix your answer if you feel the need.

Before the platforms were used, controls were just held by the drivers and operators in hand as they stood on the side of the field.
