The official form is then signed by the inspection team when complete. (Hmm... this might also help the less work time on Thursday problem, as teams will need to have something close to running...)

Having served as an inspector, I have proposed just that in the past. Either a team mentor, or a mentor from a nearby team could perform the preliminary inspection. Questions of interpretation could be raised, to be settled by the Inspection Team at the competition. This would be particularly important for rookie teams, where despite all the best intentions, rules were not followed or mis-interpreted. If we could implement this system, we could get all teams competing earlier, and for more matches.
Great ideas, Bob & Eric!
