I will admit that as the rule expert for the team, I had the whole game manual (all but section 1) printed out booklet style, separated by section, and folded in my back pockets for the whole regional (I had been going over the rules quite a bit the week before, so I had the game rules somewhat memorized already). And it did come in handy a few times (mainly when we needed to look up a rule and my iPad with the manual downloaded on it was back in the pit and we were qued for a match).

6. Keep track of team updates, Q & A responses and FIRST blog posts
7. Be active on CD
8. Plan and execute drive team strategy
And more that won't fit on this list...
