Rules Clarification

Post by colhwkins »

Hey so for the build scoring, the rules say that
Structures that ONLY contact the Test Base outside the 29 cm circle and holding the 15.0 kg will earn a Bonus of 5,000 g.

However, the scoring examples, namely Structure 3, goes on to give the 5000 g bonus to the structure, even though it only held 12,134 g.

Am I missing something, or does this need to be corrected?

Update: I just realized that there was a page for rules updates and corrections and this was corrected, but I might as well leave this up for anyone else that comes wondering.

Last time towers was run, you got the bonus for spanning the larger circle regardless of how much load you supported. So the calculation was probably left over from then. This year's rules make you choose between a lighter, smaller tower, or attempting the bonus, with a big reward if you hold 15kg, but an extra weight penalty if you fail (because your tower is bigger).
