I'll echo Billfred when he says be prepared. At Week Zero we showed up into the que line and were immediately asked what we wanted so talk to your partners BEFORE you go to the que line.
That's the one. (I think they abbreviated it to "QUAL", but whatever.)

Palmetto stacked them two deep in the field area and a third match in the hole, and we would catch them going from the hole to Queue #2. They technically had until the buzzer of the match they spent in Queue #2, but the red alliance wasn't coming back over without me escorting them back to get their picks in (and yes, I did that quite a few times). As soon as both picks were in, they got their printouts; we did not stress if we were early with that release as long as we were simultaneous (or as simultaneous as a cross-field walk allows), which appeared to be the intent of the rule from talking with Aidan.
