2392: Final Clarification on Rapid Load location (hopefully) - Qualification and Final rounds

For rule <SG5> Loading During the Rapid Load Period, it states that loaders "have the option to introduce Balls directly onto the Starting Zone (i.e. without using the Loading Station)." Please clarify that the teams can rapid load into EITHER starting Zone 1 or 2, or just starting Zone 2. Rapid Loading from Starting Zone 1 seems to give a decided advantage in terms of proximity to the Goals so I just wanted to verify WHERE teams can rapid load during the Rapid Load period, from Starting Zone 1, 2, or either. Thank you for your guidance.

<SG5> does not restrict Rapid Loading to one Starting Zone or the other. During Teamwork Challenge Matches, Teams can Rapid Load into either Starting Zone 1 or Starting Zone 2.

For Driving Skills Matches and Autonomous Coding Skills Matches, <RSC4> restricts Rapid Loading to only Starting Zone 2.
