It still doesn't make a number of things crystal clear though...
Is it exclusive field time, or is it shared? -- The use of the term "practice matches" in the explanation implies this is shared time; who is it shared with? (Alliance partners? random?)
"The autonomous period would actually be initiated from the control console at the scorer's table." -- So from the viewpoint of the RC, will we see the same sequence of comp_mode and auton_mode bits as documented in Team Update #11?
Thanks!

It will be just like the normal rounds in that you will be randomly paired with one other team and be randomly matched against two other randomly paired teams.
The RC won't know the difference between practice and regular. Therefore, if your autonomous programs work in normal matches, they should work in practice and vice-versa.
The best way to think of it is that you play two normal matches back-to-back. The only difference is that for the practice you will be with the same people both "matches".
