<TM11> Loading Match Load Balls at the Loading Station. Match Load Balls may be safely introduced during the Match under certain conditions. For the purpose of this rule, “introduce” refers to the moment when Match Load Balls are no longer in contact with the Visual Observer. 1. M atch Load Balls may only be introduced once the Match has begun. 2.Match Load Balls must be introduced by a Visual Observer placing them gently onto a Loading Station and/or gently pushing down the ramp into the track below. a.The intent of this rule is to permit Teams to impart enough energy on Match Load Balls such that they slide into the track directly in front of the Loading Station. 3.Match Load Balls may only be introduced at the Loading Station they are at the beginning of the Match.
a.There are three (3) balls at Loading Station 1. b.There are five (5) balls at Loading Station 2. 4. O nce the ball has left the Visual Observer’s hands, you may not touch the ball.
5. We recognize Flight Team Members’ hands will momentarily break the plane to place the ball on the ramp. Flight Team Members should be mindful of Drones flying nearby and remove hands as quickly as possible. <TM12> Keep balls on the ramp and in the track. Balls that fall off the ramp or leave the track will not be returned and are out of play for the remainder of the Match.
