For quals, we've been somewhat conservative on tape repairs, mainly to keep the match to match times low and to save tape. Also, the only way the tape seems to be working is if it is applied in 3" strips.
This all being said, I'd imaging that during tomorrow's lunch break (and throughout elims) we will be more diligent on tape maintenance; However, I'm not the field supervisor so I can only guess from past experience.

I noticed this at week 1 at CIR, as well. The field crew was diligently repairing the tape after nearly every single match... never seen it so in need, before.
