This has been the structure under the First of MI program, for MI Championships, I think we are going back to scheduled practice times.
That's not to say we couldn't find some room in the schedule, especially since all the robots have been out for 20+ matches so far and the fields have been running well.
E v. W might also be used if we have an off schedule "Media Match" usually done for a live TV spot after the normal schedule. I'll know more about the schedule tomorrow night.
As far as scheduling it, I'd probably be the guy to talk to to get the ball rolling as far as getting it into the schedule as I'd have to coordinate it through the event team (AV, FIRST in MI, Queing team, Field Reset, Media Relations etc...) I think the mentor match would be a perfect "teaser" on Thursday, with perhaps the E. v. W. student post scheduled matches on Friday (prime TV News Spot Time).
I'll look into it and if there is enough interest (and little complaining) perhaps we can make this happen.
