Re: Rule 3.1.4 clarification

In typical sports (heck, in almost all FRC games) points are awarded instantly upon their action. It makes sense therefore that truss and catch points are awarded upon their occurrence, regardless of whether or not the cycle is completed (like if it happens right before the time expires). 3.1.4 in the manual seems to back this up, saying that specifically upon the goal for credit of assist points would mean everything else was not contingent on a goal.
