3150: V5RC Skills Scoring - Starting Quadrant vs Toggle State

Maria Campisi (Event Partner)

I noticed a possible discrepancy regarding Skills scoring for Pins in V5RC Push Back.

When reviewing the Skills scoring system on V5RC-Hub, it appears that red Pins are only counted as scored when they are in a red Quadrant and the Toggle is set to red. However, <RSC3> in the game manual states: “Red Pins only score points if they are Placed in a red Quadrant or in the Midfield.” The rule does not appear to mention any requ<RSC3>irement for the Toggle to also be set to red in order for the Pin itself to count as scored.

Could the GDC please clarify whether:

  1. A red Pin in a red starting Quadrant scores regardless of Toggle state, or
  2. The Toggle must also be set to the matching color for the Pin to score?

Thank you.

This was a bug in the V5RC Hub app that was recently fixed, so the scoring behavior within the app should now correctly align with the rules in the game manual.

For future reference, if there are any conflicts between the English-language PDF of the game manual and other supplemental or translated materials, such as the V5RC Hub app, the most current version of the English-language PDF of the game manual takes precedence, as stated in the game manual.
