Teamwork Challenge Rules
<T1>
Referees have ultimate authority during the event, including all three types of
Matches
.
Their
rulings are final.
a.
The referees are not allowed review any recorded replays
.
b.
Referees will review the field at the end of each
Match
and accurately record the game
score. If there is a disagreement with the scoring, only the team
Drivers
, not an adult, may
share their questions or concerns with the referee. Once the field is cleared for the next
team, the
Drivers
can no longer dispute the
Match
score.
<T2>
The only people from a team permitted to be by the playing field are the two
Drivers
, who are
identified by their drive team badges. These badges are interchangeable, but not during a
Match
.
<T3>
During
Matches
, two teams form an
Alliance
that will play on the field.
<T4>
There are no time outs in the
Qualifying
Matches
or
Finals Matches
.
<T5>
If an Alliance wants to end a
Qualifying Match
or a
Finals Match
early, both teams should
signal the referee by placing their controllers on the ground. The referee will then signal to the
teams that the
Match
is over and will begin to tally the score.
<T6>
At many events, the playing field will be placed on the floor. Some Event Partners may choose
to elevate the playing fields. At the 2018 VEX Robotics World Championship, the platforms will be
18” high.
