Perhaps Luke Orr has some inside information being a member of the host team. As far as I can tell the blurb on the web page was put up before IRI, and is fairly noncommittal on which of those changes (if any) CTTD will follow. Here's the blurb for those who don't want to follow the link.

FIRST and the Game Design Committee did an excellent job creating rules for the 2012 game, Rebound Rumble. At the Cow Town Throwdown, we've had the luxury of experiencing not only the official Rebound Rumble rules through a complete season but also some exciting rule changes implemented for the Indiana Robotics Invitational off-season event this past July. These rule changes were developed by a group of award-winning FIRST mentors and officials and proved to make Rebound Rumble even more exciting than the regular-season game. Keep following this page for more information on 2012 Rule Changes.
IRI was full of robots who were part of successful triple balances. CTTD is not. I imagine many of the teams attending could make a minimal footprint drivetrain if they were given enough notice that we are indeed following the IRI changes. Could be a great idea, especially for those teams whose ball scoring mechanism didn't work out.

About a week a go Rex mentioned the update would be out soon, which probably means the committee was meeting or had already decided.

PS. I am not on the committee, and have no inside information.
