*** Round 3; 4^th and 5^th throws for maximum distance; an adjustment is allowed for each throw. (no practices)

ACCURACY

* Distance from base -> 1^st throw (0 if hit)

one allowed adjustment

** Distance from base -> 2^nd throw (0 if hit)

no further adjustment allowed

** Distance from base -> 3^rd throw (0 if hit)

ACCURACY
Trebuchet vs WM
10 points;
+2 for closest

Mass or other variable used for 1^st throw

Difference between WM and actual distance - 1^st throw
(I will put this mass into your WM to score. )
Top team =10+2; teams 2^nd,3^rd =10; teams 4^th;5^th =8;..

PRECISION
5 points; (farthest - shortest)

Difference < 2 ft = 5; < 4 ft = 4; < 6 ft = 3; ..

BRUTE FORCE ->longest +2

*** Maximum throw length (2 tries) (feet)

EFFICIENCY

Mass of trebuchet (with counterwt) (grams)

Height + Width of your trebuchet (cm)

EFFICIENCY weight->best +2

Ratio = (farthest throw) / (mass)

EFFICIENCY size-> best +2

Ratio = (farthest throw) / (Ht + Width)
