Definitely time. I was watching on the webcast and time was the #1 issue. For starters, plan for half the eliminations to go three rounds, and throw in a Timeout. If that doesn't give you a better estimate, I don't know what will. That way, we at least know what to expect.

That isn't venue fault at all, just procedure. (2 hours from the end of team intros to the end of semis hurts.)

I do agree that the changes seemed to help. No Robot Parade saved maybe 15 minutes of time. That is a good thing. Also, the good seats for the CA team during eliminations. I actually liked the changes, though I was surprised.
