Team UPDATE - 2014-03-25

Adds the no Einstein timeouts as announced on Frank's blog today, and announces the optional C++ update discussed here: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...hreadid=126102

C++ Update


We’ve identified a bug in the C++ code that causes an issue for teams using the SmartDashboard with C++ which results in their code locking up unexpectedly. The bug has been fixed and included in an update posted here. This update is strongly recommended, but not required. This update also includes a fix for the match time in the Driver Station class to reflect the 2014 timing, teams currently using GetMatchTime() with a workaround may need to update their code.

5.6 Championship Additions and Exceptions

At the 2014 FIRST Championship, Teams are split into four (4) Divisions: Archimedes, Curie, Galileo, and Newton. Each Division plays a standard Tournament as described in Section 5.3: Qualification MATCHES, Section 5.4: Elimination MATCHES, and 5.5: Tournament Rules, with the exception of Section 5.4.1: ALLIANCE Selection Process and Section 5.4.2: BACKUP TEAMS, to produce the Division Champions. Those four (4) Division Champions proceed to the Championship Playoffs, on the Einstein FIELD, to determine the 2014 FRC Champions.

There is no provision for BACKUP TEAMS at the Championship.

There is no provision for TEAM TIMEOUTS during the Einstein Tournament; however there will be an automatic FIELD TIMEOUT between each Einstein MATCH (i.e. Einstein MATCHES will be scheduled to accommodate a six (6) minute gap between MATCHES).
