In the event of a tie, the survey time will be used to decide the overall winning crew. The time spent on calculations will not be included in the ranking. There is no limit to accuracy, however, the judge can disqualify a crew if they do not make an honest attempt at the survey. Teams or team members involved in either infraction will be disqualified. The lowest total error will decide the winning team.
Any personal equipment is subject to being broken.
Do not bring personal equipment if you do not want to risk having it broken. If you do bring personal equipment, it is recommended that you bring more than one set, pair, etc. If your personal equipment is broken before you have a chance to use it, and you didn't bring a back up, you will have plenty of instruments to choose from. Remember that all equipment is to be made available for everyone prior to the beginning of the competition. There will be absolutely no special scheduling of teams.
