    • spend time understanding the scoring section of the Rules of the Road

    • team managers will turn to you to explain the numbers in the Hall of Scores
  • challenge expertise: this should be the RCMs or ACMs that are or will be at the tournament
    • this is also a good resource for more detail on the scoring of individual challenges
