Re: When does the practice field close at an event?
I've been a practice field volunteer several times over the years, including a few at CMP.
MSC for the past two years has had the best practice field I have seen at any event, ever. The volunteers on that field worked four very full days from set-up to tear-down. Teams using the field got the equivalent of several extra plays -- for my own team I know it was like playing ten(+) additional matches: that was a whole event back in the day, before districts.
Logistics and safety during tear down required the volunteers to close team access to the area, including the wooden elements, until they had it clear. After that, teams were allowed to use the wooden elements for a while longer. As the previous poster noted, all of this was very late in the day, well past 6 pm.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
