All you can do is educate teams on where they need to try to be walking in the door and give them some resources to succeed (send out the inspection sheet before bag day and encourage teams to run through it).

I suppose I have a different mindset. Minnesota Inspectors have the goal of getting every team inspected for their first match. Obviously this is so they can get the most out of the experience. In the district system they would have another full event that they would be ready for, even if they didn't pass inspection until near the end of quals... makes sense to me!
