Will field strips be on all of the fields at Worlds or just on the skills fields?

Can confirm, GPS Strips will not be installed on any Division or Dome fields. (Which again, are using the original field perimeter) Per the Game Manual, they will be installed on all of the Skills Fields. (Which again, are using the original field perimeter)

As per the game manual, and a recent post by DRow, all competition (non-skills) fields at Worlds will use the older field perimeter (nit the new white one). Thus there will be no GPS field strip attached to them.

Please do not start new Worlds Question threads there is a primary thread for that… Use the search.

This is not a vague question on what worlds is like. This is a specific question about field set up.

That’s why I am asking. When will an announcement be made? Hate to see my team put work into a gps sensor for competition and not be able to use it.

And that’s why there will not be strips on the competition fields. We have run an entire season with just strips on the skills fields. Having your team as one of the handful of teams to use GPS in the qualification matches would really, really, crank other teams off. They will be on the skills fi…

FWIW, some EPs have been putting GPS codes on every field throughout this season – it’s not prohibited, just not required. Our state championship is coming up this weekend, we told people in advance that we would have GPS codes on every field (we did this at most of the qualifiers we ran as well), …

That puts a good chunk of the teams at a severe disadvantage since most other events have been running with just the GPS on the skills. @DRow @Grant_Cox can we get a comment on how the fields will be set up and if GPS is on ALL the fields why this wasn’t communicated out to the EP’s before now. I’…

Hence my question. We have also been part of tournaments that had them on competition fields. Thanks for your reply.

Its too bad the GDC didn’t do anything about this when the issue was brought up earlier this summer:
