In the example of the TSL you state on page two that "tasks 4, 6, and 10 use three different types of lever, earning the 50 bonus points" but task 6 is not a scoring transfer. In 5.l. it states "initiate different scorable transfers". 12 is a scorable transfer using 1st class, shouldn't the second page read "tasks 4, 10, and 12 use three...? I am running this event in less than a week and want to make sure someone doesn't try to use the TSL as justification for usin a nonscorable transfer as one of their three levers. Thanks.
From what I recall (this is just off the top of my head) generally competitors get points for whatever they list on the TSL; it's usually not restricted like that (although it may have changed, the info I remember is from the early 2000s).Is there any rule that says the first use of the Simple machine should be counted towards points? Sample TSL has an L1 to IP transfer at No. 6. But there is no points listed. Instead No.12, L1 to W is used for points. Is it students wish on what they list as scorable transfer or is there any rule to say the first instance of simple machine should be used for scorable transfer?
Thanks
As a Mission Possible supervisor, I'd decide that it would make no difference whether the first or second instance of a transfer from the same simple machine was the one that was counted for points. But another question this raises about step 12 in the sample TSL is that step 12 ends with a wedge, which starts stop 13. Yet there appears to be no mention of a wedge in the action/transfer description descriptions. Does the mass contact a wedge at the top of the plane, separating the golf ball from its supporting surface and causing it to roll down the ramp? Likewise, notice that step 9 ends with a wedge, whereas step 10 starts with a 3rd class lever. You might imagine that the hammer is the lever, but shouldn't there be a wedge to lever transfer between these lines?Is there any rule that says the first use of the Simple machine should be counted towards points? Sample TSL has an L1 to IP transfer at No. 6. But there is no points listed. Instead No.12, L1 to W is used for points. Is it students wish on what they list as scorable transfer or is there any rule to say the first instance of simple machine should be used for scorable transfer?
