In the Challenge, Section I.A.6 should state: “During the Presentation, place all three Machine Modules and any other components of the Pinball System completely within the taped lines of the tournament-provided 8ft x 16ft (2.44m x 4.88m) Pinball Playfield. (See Figure A.) This means that all components of the Pinball System must be within the vertical planes created by the outside edge of the taped lines marking the Pinball Playfield while interacting with the Pinball during each Pinball Round. Extension cords used only to power any part(s) of the Pinball System may extend beyond the boundaries of the Pinball Playfield. However, the Pinball must not be directed by an extension cord that extends beyond the boundaries of the Pinball Playfield.”

Extension cords used only to power any part(s) of the Pinball System are the only exception to this rule. (See the Published Clarification for Section I.A.6.)”
