As described in <RSC4>,

In Driving Skills Matches, the Rapid Load Period is defined as any time after the mid-Match Driver switch takes place.

Per rule <G11>, the Driver switch may occur at any time "between twenty-five seconds (0:25) and thirty-five seconds (0:35) remaining in the Match."

Balls may be introduced as Rapid Loads in a Driving Skills Match at any time after the controller has been passed to the second Driver under clauses B & C of rule <G11>
