I could see option 2 working better for the later week regional competitions when teams have competed once or twice. For the first few weeks I would only schedule 1/2 day open practice & 1/2 day scheduled practice. I don't think there should be any qualification on robot inspection. Even the most organized teams at their first regional take at least an hour to get everything checked off.

I do like the fact that FIRST recognizes that there could be a better way.
