The rule that I was referring to is the one that says that the floor should be smooth and level, not specifically about which direction the illegal grooves were running. I was only suggesting that if they simply couldn't find a better location for the EV event, then at least they could have run acro...

I thought that EB (as well as tower and boomilever in the past) continues to be one of the best run and designed SO building events. I don't know of any issues that anyone had with the way it was run at Nationals or the rules for the event. It's nice that the rules are constantly changed so that nob...

I don't like to complain about how events are run because I know how hard the volunteers work to make SO Nationals happen, so I will call this a suggestion rather then a complaint. If you are going to run an event you should carefully look over the rules. In this case the rules specifically state th...

The same guy ran trajectory this year as has run trajectory and storm the castle for years. I had two issues with how the event was run this year. 1. THere was essentially no way to aim at the far target because they blocked off the view with a curtain. I think the curtain was actually meant to stop...
