Welcome to the real world.

No, I'm serious. It's almost always been this way. Regional qual matches, particularly on Friday morning, are slow, sometimes with one or more robots absent because they weren't there or hadn't passed inspection. By the elims, they've warmed up quite a bit. Of course, by Championship quals, you've got the teams who played through elims once already, and by Championship elims, anybody that isn't awesome (or otherwise on an alliance) is already crating up.
