Re: The Tournament

[T32] captures a policy that was enforced by FTAs previously, but not formally part of the tournament rules. It's also kind of a cop-out: if FIRST is providing teams with specifications, and they do a competent job of assembling the field, what's the problem with proving it? By all means restrict the measurements for logistical reasons (e.g. only during downtime, when a field crew member or official is present to observe, etc.), but don't deliberately keep teams guessing as to whether you screwed up, in ways that are very likely to be pertinent to gameplay. The rule should instead allow the head referee to override specifications in extenuating circumstances (i.e. irreparable damage to the field)—so FIRST still has its out if the field isn't quite right.

[T30] and 5.6.2 are pretty much unchanged (except for a correction to a 5-year-old error).
