Re: Regional-specific rules, etc., and do the referees read the rules?

I agree. I know how FIRST needs to protect the game before it's released. But I think a lot of this stuff each year would get resolved by letting some veteran team members take a shot at the rules to pick them apart for clarifications and discrepancies. It's not that I don't think the committee's are capable. But I do know that there are plenty of veterans out there that can visualize these matches before they happen based on past experiences. Then foresee the kinds of problems that might unfold.
I would like to be the first to volunteer as long as it involves sequestering in Hawaii until game release.
