For IRI newbies like Elgin...
Thursday from 1:00-7:00 field setup & socializing
Thursday evening, various informal activities take place, ranging from pit setup groups gathering for dinner to band practice.
Some teams arrive Thursday night, and bring in their stuff
Friday morning (really early) a local television spot is usually made
Teams arrive Friday in the morning, set up their stuff, and start running practice matches
Before noon on Friday, Q matches begin
Q matches last until around 6 or 7, and then there is a meal
After the meal on Friday, a talent show will take place
After the talent show, the DS&K band will see what they can pull off this year
Saturday morning, there will be some consumption of donuts and drink
Saturday will continue, and end up much like a Saturday during a FIRST Regional
Also, there will be a 1 hour dodge ball competition (or an exhibition of special matches?? - we shall see) on Saturday
Essentially, Mr. Clock, it is a downright great time. Show up Thursday evening for the full effect. The above schedule is rough for a purpose... it will be set more accurately within a few weeks.
