Order of Precedence

[FRC2973]

A significant change to the rules for the Championship event (section 3.7) has been communicated to the teams, first via a posting on Bill's Blog, then via an email blast, but no change has been made to the manual or addressed in the Q&A.

1) Are these changes official at the time they are announced?
2) What is the order of precedence if there is conflicting information between the manual, Bill's Blog, and official email blasts?

If we send out updated information in the form of an official FIRST communication (email from frcteams@usfirst.org, Bill's Blog or FIRST newsletter), that is the most updated information.

Specifically for the Championship, the most up-to-date information is contained in the Championship Essential Information Document found here: http://www.usfirst.org/uploadedFiles...nformation.pdf
