Before the championship game, Tara and Emek helped choose an entrance route from the team buses to the field. The stadium map used a scale of 1 centimeter for every 12 meters. Route A measured 8.5 centimeters on the map, while Route B measured 10 centimeters. Tara calculated that the actual routes were 102 meters and 120 meters long. Route A seemed better because it was shorter, but Emek noticed that 3 centimeters of it passed beside the crowded main gate. That meant 36 meters of the route would run through a busy spectator area. Route B avoided the gate completely, but the players needed a route no longer than 115 meters. Emek found a marked shortcut that reduced Route B by 0.5 centimeter, or 6 meters. The adjusted route was 114 meters long. Tara and Emek chose it, giving the players a suitable entrance while keeping them away from the crowd.
