Knowing soccer, but without the ball size and the 2" inside your perimeter rule my time would have been wasted. Also if I prototype without knowing the rules I'd be attached to my ideas once the game actually game out. So I'd never think of the game breaking robot that was 469.

So if you see a football in the game preview, what will you start on?

I agree, the possible minor lessons learned will come at great time/resource expense that could be better used on other training, fundraising, etc... Boatload of hours preseason to shave off maybe a half day in season (if that).
