[robocup-humanoid] Rule Changes

[Jacky Baltes]

Hi,

this is not a change, but the way that we have always played. It is simply
impractical to have handlers chase the ball to determine which side of the
field they are supposed to start on.

I would like to update the rules before the competition, because otherwise
we will probably forget about it again until 2011.
CU,
   Jacky
