Team Updates are issued every Tuesday and Friday. Make sure you at least have the Updates added to the hard copy, and update the hard copy periodically.
Anyway, about the rule for when scoring happens:
The text of the rule, applied by the GDC to the situation described in Q&A, completely negated the strategy of placing just one piece on every peg to score a lot of points at the start of the build. Someone somewhere forgot to remove that part from the Manual's definition of Hanging, or forgot to look at that particular Q&A and apply it to that strategy, or both.
At least teams that were trying to use that strategy have 3 weeks to redesign their robot... hopefully it'll be as simple as re-gearing the drivetrain, or similar measures.
