I saw that the volunteers don't really know what's suppose to happen when a ball goes out of bounds - especially in the first 30 games of quals. Right now, they're suppose to give the ball to the human player and then the ball comes back into play - this adds anywhere between 5 and 15 seconds to the cycle.
Something like "if no human players are present in the HUMAN PLAYER ZONES on the ALLIANCE's opposite end of the FIELD, any ALLIANCE BALL exitign the FIELD will be returned to the closest place it left by field personnel."

You can avoid a lot of unnecessary field resets this way.
