Re: [FTC]: Discrepancies between Game Video and Field Setup Guide

I was trained as an FTA yesterday (which included building a field at kickoff), and I can tell you that unless FIRST tells us differently, the field setup guide is effectively our manual. I can't speak for individual match changes (rotation), but I can say there won't be white lines on the competition field unless something changes. Same goes for the center goal as you mentioned in number one.

Still, asking this in Q&A would clear up any remaining ambiguity.
