Q&A Rulings
Under § 5.2, any student, advisor, or judge may submit a rules question. The answer is published here: numbered, dated, the question quoted verbatim, and the rule it interprets cited. Rulings bind all subsequent events until superseded. There are no private interpretations of the rules.
No rulings yet.
The archive opens with the first question, and the first question will probably come out of the first Sprint. Ruling numbering starts at R-001. Nothing will ever be back-dated into this list.
How a ruling will look
Modeled on FIRST's Q&A system.
The question, exactly as submitted, unedited.
The ruling: what the rule means in this case, and what changes (if anything) at the next event. If the question exposes a real hole in the rules, the fix lands in the changelog and is cross-referenced here.
HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT A RULE? ASK IT AT ANY EVENT, OR BY EMAIL VIA THE FOOTER. IT WILL BE ANSWERED IN PUBLIC.
