No loser bracket, 2014 structure.

There are no rules regarding tethers. I'm assuming this to mean one <20lb. piece may be placed on the field outside of contact with the robot, and not be penalized for intentionally detaching components. However, please provide clarification as to how this impacts setting up in the beginning of the match. Can I place this component on the other side of the autonomous zone?

You may place an untethered, <20 lb. piece of robot anywhere inside your alliance's half of the field excluding the Landfill Zone, the Step, and the Auto Zone. For example: A team may place a 110 lb. robot piece in the Unnamed Zone and a 20 lb. robot piece in the Staging Zone as long as each piece follows all other existing rules and is within the guardrails and alliance walls.

When do alliances have to declare they are using this coupon? When will the opposing alliance be informed that their opponents are using this coupon?

If an alliance wishes to call a Mayhem Coupon, they must submit their coupon to the Head Referee within two (2) minutes of the field reset signal preceding their match. If there is no preceding match, the Mayhem Coupon must be submitted no later than two (2) minutes before the scheduled match time.
Additionally, the Blue Alliance is allowed to react with their own coupon for one (1) minute after the Red Alliance declares, even if outside the "legal" window. The Red Alliance, however, may not react with their own coupon unless it is within the "legal" window.
