2005 Game - Triple Play

The Game

Triple Play is played on a field initially set up as illustrated in the figure above. Two alliances - one "red" and one "blue" - composed of three teams each compete in each match. The object of the game is to attain a higher score than your opponent alliance by placing tetras on or into goals, getting three goals in a row capped with tetras, and/or having all three robots on an alliance in their end zone at the end of the match.

A tetra is worth one point if contained in any goal and three points if stacked on any goal at the end of the match, for the alliance of the corresponding color. Any row of three goals owned by the same alliance at the conclusion of the match is worth ten points for the alliance. There are eight possible rows. All three robots of the same alliance in their designated end zone at the conclusion of a match is worth ten points to the alliance. A robot is not considered in the end zone if it is touching the field outside the defined end zone border. The tape line designating the end zone border is considered "in" the end zone.
