Re: Write It Do It B/C
You may find it helpful to write out an exact list of what your partner will use at the top.
For example:
You will use one blue circle piece of paper, one green lego, one orange plastic fork, etc.

They can take away everything you have, but they can't take your ability to fight.

Re: Write It Do It B/C
This is true provided that there aren't a huge number of pieces; if there are you may want to do this at the end instead if there is time. It also works better for pieces that repeat.BoldlyGoingNowhere wrote:You may find it helpful to write out an exact list of what your partner will use at the top.

Re: Write It Do It B/C
This is especially a good idea when the there are spares in the material pile. That way your partner knows how many of each item there are.BoldlyGoingNowhere wrote:You may find it helpful to write out an exact list of what your partner will use at the top.

Re: Write It Do It B/C
Hi! I have a question because my partner for the Write it Do it challenge is convinced that after one person writes and one person does, they switch and the doer writes and the writer does in the actually challenge!? I don't think this is true and all the stuff on the website doesn't say the switch. Can anyone answer my question?[/size][/size]

Re: Write It Do It B/C
You, not your partner, are correct. At competition, one person writes, the other "does". No switch (unless your coach decides to switch competitors at the last minute or something strange like that).

Re: Write It Do It B/C
I always wondered - let's say you faced the contraption from one direction, let's say looking North to South, and wrote about it. If your partner built it from North to South, but the entire thing was meant to be facing South to North, would you lose points? The only thing I see here is that it would be rotated 180 degrees; is that a point deduction? And if so, would you lose points for each individual piece, or merely just a point for the overall rotation?

Re: Write It Do It B/C
If one contraption is sitting on the writers' table with a bunch of writers all facing it from different angles (so that Bob sees the blue block as being north, Sally sees it as east, etc.) then the writers build as they see it and the builders build as described. So, the judges will see contraptions with the blue block on all four sides... Nobody is expecting a writer or doer to mentally rotate the contraption...quizbowl wrote:I always wondered - let's say you faced the contraption from one direction, let's say looking North to South, and wrote about it.

Re: Write It Do It B/C
Be careful though, sometimes that's too time consuming. 9 times out of 10 you are better off not listing the materials.mnstrviola wrote:This is especially a good idea when the there are spares in the material pile.

Re: Write It Do It B/C
I highly doubt that would ever be an issue. I don't know for sure but I think in some competitions the doer has to physically run their structure to the proctor when they're done since time is a tiebreaker, so the original rotation is lost anyway.quizbowl wrote:I always wondered - let's say you faced the contraption from one direction, let's say looking North to South, and wrote about it.
