Aha! I had a feeling that was your bridge on the rules. I still am very impressed by that structure. I was surprised to see it in the rules - you're giving away the top design to everyone right when they start the event!
I have a feeling they mean the same thing with MAXIMUM TIME as last year - they just want it to be more obvious up front about the time slot.

No you should not post the rules on scioly in the full form that is a copyright violation
you can post small sections (like 2.a.a or whatnot) of rules just try to keep the posted sections to just what is needed

Fmtiger124. I had my students load a single bridge side last year. The exersize help us determine what the minimum size of the members needed to be. We only loaded it to 7.5 kg. (16.5 lb.) We had to build a fixture to "capture" the
single side so it couldn't colapse. I think it helped streamline our "developement" program, just like the suggestion to
built a tripod over the bridge to catch the load so that the bridge isn't completely destroyed as it fails. Anyone interested
in this suggestion can research it in last years forum.
