2077: <SC8> Clarification with Regards to Q&A 2022

31-Jul-2024

In the answer to Q&A 2022, it is stated that to fulfill Point 2 of <SC8> for the Autonomous Win Point, the Stakes must be on that Alliance’s side of the Autonomous Line. This is also now reflected in the game manual: “A minimum of two (2) Stakes on the Alliance’s side of the Autonomous Line with at least (1) Ring of the Alliance’s color Scored”

Does this include or exclude the two Neutral Wall Stakes?

Furthermore, does this include or exclude the Mobile Goal Stake that lies on the Autonomous Line? What if the Red Alliance scored on that Stake but the Mobile Goal is on the Blue Alliance’s side of the Autonomous Line at the end of the Autonomous Period (or vice versa)?

Answered by committee

The Neutral Wall Stakes are not on either Alliance's side of the Autonomous Line, and therefore don't meet the requirements for the 2nd Autonomous Win Point criteria (<SC8>). Any Mobile Goal Stake can potentially be used to satisfy the criteria, but only if the Mobile Goal ends the Autonomous Period fully on the correct side of the Autonomous Line.
