Looks like they send an update every 7 days even if there is no content.
For years folks have been going back and forth with "regular updates" vs. "only when important things happen."

I think that FIRST has struck a decent balance at long last.

Contrary to those who say there is no information in these "nothing new to report" updates, there is some important information. Now anyone who was wondering if a rule will change knows that it will not.

While this may not seem like a significant bit of information, if there were some brewing controversy about a strategy or a ruling on the field or whatever, now teams know that FIRST has thought about it and nothing is going to change.

Teams can plan accordingly.

So... ...I say, "Keep 'em coming, GDC. Keep 'em coming..."
