Error: Team A never holds the Stock Rope.

If Team A wants to put its rope on, the Field Reset people will remove the Stock Rope allowing Team A to install their rope.

Field Reset will not remove Team A's Rope. The exception might be if Team A's Rope looks like a Stock Rope, and removes it to allow Team B to install a rope. In that instance Field Reset will have Team A's Rope, and Team A can recover their rope from Field Reset.

At the end of the match, Field Reset will make sure that all non-stock ropes are removed. If a Team's rope looks like a stock rope, it could be left on the field. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck ... is there any harm to the next match?
