+1 on this. There's nothing more frustrating than having a large group together for kickoff and not being able to watch it.
Regarding timing, the kickoff show starts at 10:30 EST. Based on previous years, here's what you can expect. It begins with a general welcome from FIRST leaders, welcome videos from sponsors, and then moves on to the game reveal. This is the point when the password for the encrypted game manual is shown. IIRC this was just before 11AM EST last year. The show wrapped with a series of detailed field walkthroughs. They're worth watching.
Pro tip: have your smartphone out and ready when the password is revealed.
