That's the same timeframe as the Week 7 qualifiers currently get, about 2-3 weeks. And if you phrase it as "the deadline is X, but shipping earlier* is allowed and encouraged", I think enough teams would take that suggestion that it'd go a bit smoother.


*Earlier would be loosely defined as "any time between the Tuesday after your last Regional/DCMP/District Event and the deadline". Exactly how early would be team-dependent, obviously, but it would be team choice as to when they thought they were ready--or when the mentors thought they were burning out.
