Emphasis mine.

Where are you reading the Q&A? I might just be missing it, but a search of the first website brings me to a page that says:

The FIRST Robotics Competition Game Question and Answer System will be available after Kickoff.

If the Q&A system is up and running, a link would be super helpful.

Thanks

Is it just me, or are all the PDFs blank? I can't find any questions or answers there.

There are 6 ref station's (3 on each side of the field) there 2 in center across from each other then there's 2 one at each outer works and finally 2 of them each across from the spy box's

5 should do it (head ref + 4), however, it is virtually impossible to monitor the number of boulders, so 2 more if they really want to watch for it.

1 ref to watch the courtyard and SP
1 ref to watch the NZ and Outer works for crossing
ditto for the other side

Only one defensive bot is allowed in the courtyard, so that cuts down a lot of what you have to watch there.
The NZ could be busy with all 3 bots trying to cross. In those instances, the Courtyard ref can help watch for penalties, while the Outer Works ref concentrates on crossings.

I think what will end up happening is 5 and then when they realize how "Week 1 Recycle Rush" that is they'll add 2 scorekeepers with clickers for balls (add 2 more if you want them to keep track of defenses as well)
