RoboCupJunior Soccer rules

Welcome to the RoboCupJunior Soccer rules repository for the 2018 season.

For this season the RoboCupJunior Soccer Technical Committee (TC) would like to invite the RoboCupJunior Soccer community to suggest any changes that would be worth making to the rules. Note that the Technical Committee will in the end approve or disapprove any suggested changes for the 2018 rules, but every suggested change (that is found to be reasonable by the TC) will be looked at, examined and considered.

What changes are you looking for?

Since the last year's rules changed quite dramatically, the changes for this year will most probably be on smaller scale and more game-related. The overall goal of the TC is to change the rules so that they make the game more interesting (for both competitors and spectators) while also keeping it challenging from the technical point of view.

Changes that would improve formatting of the rules or their clarity are most definitely welcome.

We accept proposals until the 11th of December, 2017.

How do I suggest a change?

Please edit the tex/rules.tex file. The easiest way of doing that seems to be following the GitHub's instructions on how to edit files in another user's repository.

In the end that should result in a Pull Request.

When suggesting a change, please follow the following rules:

1. Small Pull Requests are better than big ones.
2. Please only include one 'change type' (i.e. grammar/structure/gameplay ...) in one Pull Request
3. Please make sure to fill in the Pull Request template

That's way too complicated!

We do realize it may look like that. If you do not feel comfortable with suggesting a change using the process above, feel free to open a GitHub issue by filling a form here. We can discuss your suggestion there, and if it makes sense someone will certainly put it into the actual rules.tex document.
