One interesting thing I noticed is that Chesapeake starts load in at 8 am on day 0. I understand how having that much time is
really nice, but I also know that it is not absolutely necessary. The first year that my school hosted (2015), they didn't let anyone start load in until school got out at 2:11 and, while stressful, teams were still able to start load in at 5 and IIRC, there were some practice matches that night as well. It definitely is nice to start earlier (and we were able to start at 12 this year), but # of volunteers and load in time are inversely correlated, so the more volunteers the host team can provide, the later load in can start. 8 am, or even 12, is definitely not a hard requirement, especially if the field is simpler than it was this year.
