Re: Bungee Drop C
Seems to me there's only one major change this year.
Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way you'll be a mile away and he'll be shoeless.
You should only create problems, that only you know solutions to.

Re: Bungee Drop C
I don't think it really changes the difficulty of this event. It will always be a VERY difficult event to get right.bernard wrote:Just noticed the change - does it make the event easier?chinesesushi wrote:Seems to me there's only one major change this year.

Re: Bungee Drop C
Exactly what I thought too. I think our state director is planning to make a standard setup, but that's just for states. I really hated the device they had at Nationals.

Re: Bungee Drop C
I don't think it would be a bad idea for NSO or at least your friendly state director to post a plan for a standard (state or nats wide) drop device just to clear things up.
(Thought I think my state dropped Bungee Drop last year cause we didn't have a room for it..)

Re: Bungee Drop C
I don't think it'd be a bad idea either. In fact, I'd say that it's almost necessary to create a standard dropping system as the rules don't make that clear. It's like testing bridges without knowing how far the bridge has to span or something. I did Bungee Drop for an invitational, regionals, states, and nationals, AND they had a different dropping mechanism every time. Which means our data was useless XD. Every time was basically a test.iwonder wrote:I don't think it would be a bad idea for NSO or at least your friendly state director to post a plan for a standard (state or nats wide) drop device just to clear things up.
