NCAA mechanics questions
 

1) When pursuit rules are in effect: team's first contact travels outside the antenna and lands out of bounds without being touched. Does R2 whistle this antenna fault?

2) When a 5 minute intermission is used after the 2nd set, does the R1 signal for the teams to return to the bench or to switch sides?
