Intro
Hi, my name is Uttam. Myself and two of my peers devised a formula of working out the area of a regular polygon if one knows the perimeter and the number of sides of the polygon; n=number of side, p=perimeter

$$Area=tan((n-2)\times180 \div n \div 2) \times n(p \div (2n))^{2}$$

Dreeving
Dreeving is a sport invented, inadvertently, in late 2007. It consists of students pushing each other in opposing directions, along a wall. As little as 3, and as many as 40 students can take part in a 'drive'; although around 8-12 participants produces optimum enjoyment. Despite numerous detentions being sanctioned to 'drivers' by members of staff, Dreeving was hugely popular in 9R. Mostly males took part but masculine females had previously driven, mainly powerhousing.

Positions

 * Powerhouse - Powerhouse are the drivers who, after the referee's call of engage, use core body strength to 'drive' the pack in a direction. There are 2 powerhouses, one at each end.
 * Impactor - Impactors are the drivers who take the impact of the powerhouses. They are usually well-built, to take the large force of the impact. There can be up to 4 impactors in a drive.
 * Collapser - Collapsers try to trip drivers either side of them, and, if successful, the whole drive 'collapses', and usually, there are some injuries.
 * Secondary collapsers - Secondary collapsers assist collapsers in tripping drivers either side of them.
 * Crusher - The crusher is the driver right in the middle of the drive. Their role is nothing more than being crushed.

Dreeving Code of Conduct

 * 1) Intentional collapsing via a non-collapser results to an instant booking to the offender.
 * 2) Impacting committed by powerhouses before the call 'Engage!' by the referee results to an instant booking.
 * 3) Two bookings in one drive results to the driver being excluded for that drive
 * 4) Assaulting the referee results to exclusion from all the drives for the remainder of the day.

Referee's calls

 * Crouch - All drivers get into position to 'drive'.
 * Touch - All drivers come into contact (without any real force being applied) with the person to their left or right, depending on their desired driving direction.
 * Pause - All drivers hold their position for inspection by the referee. The referee also makes sure there is an absence of any members of staff, who may have been waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike a detention.
 * Engage - All drivers drive towards the center.

Dreeving was invented by the DEMS:


 * 1) Kieran W
 * 2) Sam W
 * 3) Billy M
 * 4) Harry B
 * 5) Jack 'Dreevies' Davies
 * 6) Uttam S

Dreeving Hall of Fame

 * Jack 'Dreevies' Davies - Dreevies was issued a thirty minute detention by a science teacher. He was applauded triumphently and Dreevies is the first student to make it into the 'Dreeving Hall of Fame'.

"The Veteran is a role model for me, I feel privileged when I am being given a yellow by him. He is my idol and he thoroughly deserves to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. It is a real shame injury has jeopardized his Dreeving career. We salute you Veteran."
 * Uttam Sharma - The most talented of driving Referees around, he has delivered 29 yellow cards and 6 red cards in his 735 matches as Referee. 'The Veteran' as he is known by many, used to be one of Bradley Stoke top Drivers, however, after a series of injuries, he opted to be referee and to help nurture the younger generations' talent. When it was announced that Uttam Sharma was inducted into the Wall of Fame, Sam W, top collapser, had this to say:

Dreeving Venues
Dreeving can be performed anywhere however, it is preferable to perform Dreeving over a 5+ metre distance. You will usually find 5+ metre walls at the Official Music Dreeving Arena located in the red corridor.

Official Music Dreeving Arena
The Official Music Dreeving Arena is located in the red corridor on the first floor. It consists of five Dreeving walls which are 5+ metres in length, optimizing the Dreeving capability. The OMDA is the Dreeving location of choice with top quality walls and a spectator capacity of 50 students. It is also preferred due to the lack of members of staff around the area. Only three members of the staff are situated in the red corridor, one of them being a blonde female teacher and another being a reincarnation of Mr. Shepherd (who was known for being the complete opposite of 'strict'), making it easy for the Dreevers to escape without a detention.

ICT Arena
This arena is normally used for small club drives on an ICT lesson which is generally period 3 on a Wednesday, however this time can vary. The arena is located outside G39. However, drives can still be held by F28 and F29. One of the main disadvantages is that these locations are wide open to the staff and detentions are usually inevitable.

Drama Arena
Known as the first Dreeving location the Drama Drive has a place in the hearts of all Dreevers. However, due to recent refurbishment obstacles have prevented maximum Dreeving capabilities increasing friction causing the venue to be discontinued from official Drives. The board officials are debating whether to bring the arena back into action soon.
