While I agree things on Saturday were WAY too long, with the current format of having half the qualification matches on Friday, forcing teams to execute alliance selections on Friday night is unreasonable.

1) This would eliminate the excellent "learning opportunity" that is the evening "pick list discussion".

2) This could disenfranchise the teams' (frequently large) scouting group by having to generate a pick list without spending sufficient time digesting the scouting data.

I would think a better approach would be to shorten the break between division finals and Einstein matches and do away with the arena exodus before the finale.
