From my experience inspecting it takes the head inspector being very insistent with teams that they NEED to start the process early, even if they aren't even close to being done. There's always some things that can be checked off while assembly/repairs/changes are being done.

Totally agreed. With all 3 of the contests that I inspected last year, we took the pro-active approach and went to the teams to at least start the inspection process. If we had waited for them to come to us, there was a good chance that we wouldn't have finished them by Thursday.
I do like the idea of having the inspection form somewhat filled out before they arrive on Thursday. At least that would give them a good start to the inspection process.
