...great work! Now, if only the right people would read it...I could be cute and print that, posting it on the door, circling the right one. Then, there's no excuse. The biggest common mistake is high schoolers not knowing what direct venting is, and you make it pretty darn clear there.

It looks like the biographies were added at different times. foreverphysics and I are the same year, so hers was updated in 2012; mnstrviola is a year younger so his was added in 2013. And if Eaststroudsburg13 is two years older than me his was added 2014-2015. I think robotman is also two years older than me so his was probably added in 2013-2014.Unome wrote:Cool stuff.

Mission Possible in 2015 had changes to FAQ definitions for jugs.

Probably not; I'm guessing that there would be plenty of people showing up at lower level competitions with devices up to past years' specs and cheat sheets based on old topics if that were to happen (if what I've heard is correct, this is why they stopped putting draft rules online).NeilMehta wrote:I wonder if soinc would be willing to release much older rule manuals that aren't on sale anymorebernard wrote:Mission Possible in 2015 had changes to FAQ definitions for jugs.
