Actually, the procedure for Wednesday night at the Championship is very clearly defined in section 3.7 of the Manual. And as far as I know, the manual is the official rule book. If you go to the inspection station, they have a copy of the manual and usually a copy of the Q&A for interpretation of those rules. They don't have copies of every email and blog that FIRST puts out.

And according to the Update published today,

Section 0 – Introduction through Section 7 – The Game - No changes.

I posted a question to Q&A to try to clarify precedence of different documents regarding rules.
