Hi all,
At today's Tech Day at Bristol I've thrown together a little cheat sheet that attempts to make the arena and token layouts a little clearer for teams that haven't yet worked out how to tackle the rotation problem. Note that this is built entirely from my interpretation of the rulebook, so it may be inaccurate, and it's not exactly beautiful. Feel free to pass it on to any teams that might be struggling to decipher the challenge (or build upon it)!
Cheers!
George

suggesting that we put in the rules. (After some checking) I'm sure we
can integrate your net diagrams into the rulebook.
Cheers,

Cool. Is the source for it somewhere accessible?

It looks looks mostly accurate (and certainly very useful).
Unfortunately I believe that there's an error in the attachment with
regards to the bottom faces. Rule 3.5.4 states:
> The markers on the top and bottom faces of each token will be

At the moment, however, you have the bottom markers always having
their "top" edge touching the same face as the "bottom" edge of the
top markers does. As a result, they're all 180 degrees misplaced.
If we can correct that (and get some more eyes to check that nothing
else is inaccurate) then it would be great to get this published.
Thanks,
Peter
