At our district events we never had any no shows which was great, we always checked with them before we were leaving for the field. At the Championship however, we had several problems of no shows. We checked with teams before leaving and all said they were ok, with a 6 minute walk back and forth it was challenging to try to track them down when they didnt hit the field. 1 match we had a no show and played 2v3 and another match we had 2 no shows, untill the announcer was wrapping up the blue alliance and they came running on the field. I think the current system is good because it helps you to work more with the teams in need as well as plays into the game.
