Re: Are 8 play regional reasonable?

A lot of the problem was with the Radio this year. Seems to be worse than last year. Field Reset was only a problem for one or two matches (removing a stuck defense, or repairing the Sally Port), but not a long delay like some Radio delays.

Any thoughts on having Load-in and Pits open on Wednesday around Noon? Practice Rounds could start at 9 am on Thursday, with Qualification Rounds starting at 1:00 pm. RI's and Practice Field would be needed a day early on Wednesday. Everyone else would need to be ready at 9am on Thursday, rather than Noon.
