After attending the Galveston Signature event this past weekend. The scoring process for endgame is too slow. Possible ideas to accelerate the process. Limit to two projectiles per robot Limit the length of string used on a robot Any other rule modifications that could help speed up the scoring…

as these modifications would greatly increase scoring speed, this would greatly decrease possibility of extreme domination from teams that take their time developing endgame cough cough 67101c old endgame cough cough thus decreasing major score differences, it’s very possible that late season robots…

Compare the livestream of Galveston to Haunted. Haunted kept a much tighter schedule and had just as many robots with string projectiles.

While there are cases where scoring speed can be overcome with a top-notch volunteer crew (Haunted Signature event). The average event around the world will be slow to score (similar to Galveston Signature event). The scoring process needs to accelerate to make events run smoother across the world…

I’ve done match cycle time analysis in a previous thread. Currently (in minutes): Spin Up: cycle_time_mean min 2.300000 mean 6.226671 max 15.280000 std 2.175427 Tipping Point: cycle_time_mean min 1.311148 mean 5.495641 max 21.3166…

Read through this thread. [image] Will GDC ban string/string launcher for expansion in endgame? VRC > Spin Up (22/23) I know this is a bit far out but in version 3.0 of the game manual or some other update, I think that using string or string launchers for the endgame wi…

Head Referee from Galveston here. Wow, running events is a lot harder than it looks. After years and years of competition it seems I owe a great deal of volunteer hours to the community :blush:. I am generally satisfied with the individual experience teams received at the Galveston Signature as fa…

For us, the most efficient process is for the primary ref to count field tiles while the scorekeepers score the discs and cylinders. We usually finished at the same time. If the teams are on time, we are able to beat a five minute cycle time using two fields, and six minutes with a single field. …

FWIW, 45 sec a match adds up to 1 hour for an 80-match day.

Another point to make is that that is the average for Tip and Spin up. Many tournaments this year have been a regions first tournament, meaning new teams and unexpected delays. Tip also has the benefit of worlds lowering averages with 1000s of matches played at a very fast cycle time. Would be curio…

Another problem that would arise with this suggestion would be skills scores. If a team had a high score with a bunch of string projectiles shooting out, what would they do to their score after these limitations are put out? Would they delete them? Solving the string endgame while keeping everyone …

There isn’t any effective way to bad endgame projectile and it is too late in the season.
