Last Friday Update of the 2016 season!

Interesting addition of a Blue Box under Section 5.5.3 REFEREE Interaction, T19:

As a process improvement, in this year’s REFEREE training we
instructed them to not record details about FOULS and TECHNICAL
FOULS; as a result, we don’t expect REFEREES to recall details
about what FOULS or TECHNICAL FOULS were made, when they
occurred, and against whom.

The goal is to increase consistency across events while enabling and
empowering REFEREES to focus on the play on the FIELD (instead
of worrying about keeping detailed records during the MATCH). Any
reasonable question is fair game in the Question Box, and Head
REFEREES will do good faith efforts to provide helpful feedback (e.g.
how/why certain FOULS are being called, why a particular ROBOT
may be susceptible to certain FOULS based on its design or game
play, how specific rules are being called or interpreted), but please
know that they will likely not be able to supply specific details.
