New manual not showing on the FIRST app yet?

So glad to see some long overdue improvements to judging, and of course the return of Chairman's feedback!

Now, here's hoping for a better game too...

Frank mentioned they released the manual as a PDF to get it out as quickly as possible. My assumption is that they have a content management system of some sort that manages both the web manual and the app, and that Frank's wording means they haven't had an opportunity to put the first sections of the 2016 manual in that system yet.

I know the Admin Manual is always out before the game manual and they hold back some information that is apart of the game. So out of curiosity, when is the encrypted game manual usually released. I just want to get it on my phone before kickoff so I don't forget to have it for kickoff. Thanks.

It won't be released until closer to kickoff most likely after all major holidays. Probably on Wednesday January 6th if i had to guess a date.
