Will this be the norm? Is this how it was done in other venues?

The SAFE expansion outside of transport configuration early in the queue is one tool events have this year to help them maintain schedule. Schedule wasn't an issue at Lake Superior this weekend, but it was across the hall at Northern Lights (due to field issues, not team issues). For those two events specifically, we hold an exhibition "Double DECCer" playoff match between the winners of both fields. So while Northern Lights was trying to catch up on Saturday (even playing matches through lunch), Lake Superior was slowing things down so they would both end roughly at the same time.

As I understand it, utilizing this tool is at the discretion of the event, based on the needs of the event. If there's no need, then I doubt it'll be used.
