As a Lead Que I am glad for the change. I HATE Thursdays at FIRST events with a passion. The mornings are a complete waste of time for volunteers as we're just sitting around waiting for teams to show up and I never understood why they close the field down at 4:30 when the pits are open til 8. I say let them play until it's time to go home.
I would also like to see them do away with the schedule. It's stupid and adds stress to the volunteers who often have to scramble to put teams on and off the field because if it (if a scheduled team comes stumbling up late but has already been replaced by a fill in we have to kick the fill in out to put the latecomer in thus delaying the match further). It's much easier to roll teams to the back of the line and build matches (ala IRI) than it is to work around a useless schedule.
