Re: competition schedules?
At STL this year we ran anywhere from right on schedule to 15 minutes ahead -- never behind -- during Thursday practice and Friday/Saturday qualifying. We did start to run behind schedule during Saturday eliminations when one of the quarterfinals required five matches to decide the winner.

Also, we have never released practice or qualifying match schedules in advance. Practice schedules are distributed at registration on Thursday morning and qualifying schedules are distributed at the pit administration table on Friday morning.

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.
