So this kinda got me interested in the "semantics", and there appear to be conflicting "inferred" definitions of the competition season in the 2010 manual.

Under definition of Withholding allowance, there is a note that refers to "the entire period between robot ship date and the start of the competition season", which would infer that it starts with the actual competition events. However, in Rule 25 an example of the fabrication schedule describes a part which is fabricated "during the competition season" being illegal because it was designed prior to kick-off, which would imply that the build season is part of the competition season and thus it starts at kick-off.

Hmmmmmm..............
