According to the CTTD website here:

FIRST and the Game Design Committee did an excellent job creating rules for the 2015 game, Recycle Rush. There may be a short list of rule changes to the game and how it is played and scored. These changes will be emailed to all registered coaches and posted here. As in the past, the following tournament rules will apply

• +5 pounds allowed. Honor system, unless the referees question you.
• Four teams will be on each alliance in the finals. (see section I)
• Alliance selection is:
  1. 1-8 (from outside the top 8)
  2. 8-1
  3. 1-8
  4. (See section I. (Alliance Selection) for a complete description of the alliance selection process.)
• No extra backup teams are needed, since each alliance has its own backup. there is no requirement to play the backup team.
• Alliances may choose to field any three of the four teams in the alliance. Lower seeded alliance must declare robots first
• FIRST tiebreaker rules apply except for the finals where ties will be replayed.
