What was new
The (BR)2 Organizers spiced up the competition with the following changes:
- An additional ball is added in each zone for each alliance at the start of the game (4 in far-field; 3 in mid-field; and 2 near-field). So, there are 6 additional balls in play (18 rather than 12).
- Balls scored during autonomous period are worth 2 points each.
- In the final 20 seconds, two orange bonus balls are put into play, one in each end zone. Scoring the bonus ball earns two points.
- Hanging bonus
