A Mobile Goal is considered Placed in a Corner if it meets the following criteria:

The Mobile Goal’s base is contacting the Corner (i.e., the Floor and/or white tape line).

It is “upright.” For the purposes of this definition, a Mobile Goal is considered “upright” if no contact is being made between its Stake (and/or any Rings on this Stake) and the Floor or Field Perimeter.

Contact with a Robot is irrelevant, as long as all other criteria are met.

Note: Only one Mobile Goal may be considered Placed in each Corner. If two Mobile Goals meet the above requirements in the same Corner, the following criteria will be used as a series of “tiebreakers” to determine which Mobile Goal is Placed: Compare the number of Field Perimeter segments contacted by the Mobile Goal; higher number is better. A Mobile Goal that is contacting a white tape line ranks lower than one which is not. A Stake that is roughly perpendicular to the Floor ranks higher than a Stake that is not as “vertical.” If criteria 1-3 are still tied, then neither Mobile Goal is considered Placed.
