the HATCH (The software they use for IFI Comms, Scoring, Awards Listing Rankings etc.) The Problem is that you can only have one open Match Schedule at a time. Obviously Practice Schedules comes first. After thursdays matches have been run through then a Qualifying schedule can be created. I mean maybe you can have 2 open schedules at a time but I doubt it. Instead of having the schedules ready by thursday afternoon how about having schedules when the regional comes to being one week away and have it mailed to the competing teams. How well would this work instead of cutting it sort by half a day.

That sounds like a good idea. Having the match schedule on the Monday before would allow everyone to see who the play with or against, and help them fix any problems that they might have. Another reason its good is that you can scout better and have more strategy during qualifying matches.
Anyhoo, back to the real topic. Robots breaking is a part of the game. Not having everyone out there is not good, but it happens. Finally, I think that you don't get any points if you don't have a human player out during the match, but I think that might of changed from past years.
