I'm not really worried about conciseness at this point, Cassie. I'm really looking for a nice dump of info that can be sorted out/worked through/edited and used for multiple purposes.

I think the FIRST community makes too many assumptions about a lot of things. One is the robotics environment that the teams are steeped in; some year-round. Many rookie teams have not been steeped in the mindset, terminology, game play. Many of the folks in the stands show up because of family members, friends, or curiosity and don't have the background or information to help them engage in the game or FRC/FIRST as much as they could with a little bit of support/outreach from our knowledgeable community.
Example: If I go to a football game, I need a little more help understanding it than if I go to a baseball game. If I go to a rugby game, I need a whole lot of help and a very patient person who is willing to help me understand what I'm seeing and why the plays are being called the way they are. In my opinion, the FRC game can be understood by all ages, much like football but - it becomes rugby because of lack of support in helping to understanding it.
There can be some easy fixes to helping grow FIRST in user friendly ways. This is one of them. It would also support what the emcees and announcers are doing, already.
