9.2.1 Schedule
The practice matches will be played all day on the first day of each competition. The practice
match schedule will be available on the first morning. Practice matches will be randomly
assigned. Each team will be assigned an equal number of practice matches. At some events,
additional matches may be available on a standby basis. Each practice match will consist of a
ten-minute period in which teams may operate their ROBOT on the field. The first five minutes of
each practice match will start with a 15-second autonomous period, and followed by a “free-form”
session, in which the ROBOTS may be exercised to evaluate operational characteristics, gain
driver experience, determine system robustness, etc. The second five minutes of each practice
match will be conducted as a “competition match” with approximately two minutes for set up, two
minutes and fifteen seconds of regular game play (including autonomous operations), and one
minute to clear the field.

I'm assuming that the "10 minutes" will similarly be split up into two separate match periods, if Option #3 were to be implemented. Thus, batteries can be changed between the two runs during the time for field reset.
