Ryan...

Check out the first page of the "game" section in the manual...

above figure 4.1, it says, "FIRST FRENZY: Raising the Bar is played on a field initially set up as illustrated in the figures below."

It shows 3 balls in there, so I am 99.9% sure this means you will start with 3 balls....

Yes, I see the picture you're talking about, but I'm looking for where it's stated in text as a rule.. it just seems kinda weird that they would only show it in the pictures.

Yep, it seems like they went for the "less rules" approach... take it as it is, it clearly shows how the field is setup...

Good luck

So when can the human players start throwing those balls?

Paul,

Check out rules G13 and G14...

<G13> No team member may pass the Starting Line in their Team Zone until the conclusion of the
AUTONOMOUS PERIOD. All team members must stay within their alliance’s designated Team Zone
during the match.
<G14> Team members may not touch any balls during the AUTONOMOUS PERIOD. HUMAN PLAYERS
may use any balls in the Team Zone once the AUTONOMOUS PERIOD ends.


So the humans can start throwing once autonomous is over..
