I have to disagree on this.

It is not FIRSTs job to ensure that all teams understand the rules.

It is each teams job to comply with all of FIRSTs rules.

Thus the responsibility is on the teams to comply. Teaching responsibility is something that every team should be doing.

I can hear it now, "But that wasn't on the test!".
