Mission 2024 Eclipse Competition Manual

Red Arch Gate and Screen Base Placement

Blue Arch Gate and Red Arch Gate Base Placement

Note: The long leg of the base to the screen should be placed so it touches the inside of the PVC Field Perimeter. There are no exact measurements listed for the placement of the feet where the red and blue arch gates meet. This was intentional due to minor variances in tension wires and PVC Field Perimeters measurements. When setting up the field, please ensure the other ends of the arch gates (next to PVC Field Perimeter) are placed according to the measurements provided and then nest the red and blue arch gate feet where they meet.

TENSION WIRE PLACEMENT AND LENGTH

Screen set up

Note: Screen: Fill the weight bags (included in the field element kit) partially with sand or water and place them on the metal bases to secure the screen from tipping. Bags only need a small amount of weight to prevent tipping. Overfilling the bags may result in bursting. The tension wire is not used when setting up the screen. Arch Gate: Tension wires should be placed on the black pole at the top of the metal tube, approximately 6” from the ground. Tension wire lengths are 103”, but there may be minor variances +/- 3” depending on the manufacturer.
