thanks much. i didn't realize that the build time is itself much lower.heiber wrote:All events are typically 50 minutes to allow time to get to the next event. So for MA, it is usually about 25-30 minutes of build time plus time at the beginning to get settled and explain instructions and time at the end to test, clean up, etc. The exact time is up to the event coordinator and it also depends on if they test all at the end or as people finish.mvsomacoach wrote:i appreciate the replies to my question.
i read through all the posts (from before as well) and there is lot of good information here. thanks for that.
i also have few other questions. if anybody has answers for any of them.
. other than the file SO_B_2019.pdf is there any other place where the rules are listed?
i just saw one item in the faq that somebody linked to. maybe i missed others?
. is there a restriction that the parts provided in the bag have to be used whole, in other words without trimming them?
of course sticky tape is trimmed to length, but i was referring to things like sticks/straws/paper that are members of the structure?
i don't think there is such a restriction but i had there was some disqualification done in one of the events due to this. this was last year though.
. is the time flexible? is the overall event duration 50 minutes (when rules are explained, questions are answered, etc.), or is it just the construction time?
for example can the construction time itself be just 30 minutes or so?
thanks again!
bummer as we have been practicing about 50 mins of build time. oh well, i guess we'll try and adjust next couple of meets.
