Also before I start let me say I haven't been to Atlanta before (although I am going this year) so if none this makes any sense tell me.

Wednesday: Open the pits to the first 3 people at 3:00 and allow others in at 5:00. Pits close at 8:00

Thursday: Open Pits at 8:00. Start practice Matches at 8:30 and go till 1:00. (at 9 minute turnarounds this is about 1 Practice match a piece.)
Start Qualification matches at 2:00 and go till 5:00.

Friday: Qualification matches from 9:00-12:00 and 12:45-5:45.

Saturday: Qualification matches from 9:00-11:30. Then begin elimination rounds.

Basically I think they should open the pits earlier on Wednesday to help teams start repairing thier robots and start Qualifiers late Thursday.

Just my opinion.
So you want the FIRST in Michigan schedule in Atlanta? I would agree with that. This is basically a trade of practice matches for qualifying matches. You will get equal pit time but less practice drive time.
