I was told that it use to be that way. There should still be time after to set up strategy but it can be 30 min instead of an hour.
This has been suggested many times over the past few years, and while I agree with it, it's FIRST's call. I believe that FIRST gave a reason for this a while back, but I do not remember what it was.
Maybe FIRST's reason has to do with wanting people (teams and volunteers) to have some time for lunch?

Anyway, I think Steve is right -- 15 minutes to compile Saturday scouting results would help a lot and would not delay the event too much.

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.
