Re: [BB]: Regional Variations & Bagging It

Still very confused about our home Regional (Pittsburgh)...

Bill's Blog/FRC email says this:

Quote:
FIRST is striving to ensure all FRC Regional Events have a minimum of 10 qualification rounds. Traditional FRC Regional Events may only have a half-day of practice rounds on Thursday before qualification rounds begin. Sacramento and Pittsburgh (which are piloting a new, more time compressed competition format) will allow teams in as early as possible to maximize practice time. Practice matches will be run during load-in at Sacramento and Pittsburgh (probably on the practice field) and qualifying matches will begin sometime Friday morning.
Which leads me to these two questions:

1) It states qualifying will start sometime Friday morning, with practice rounds running during load-in. Is this load-in/practice still going to be Thursday?
2) It also states qualifiers may start mid-day Thursday...? Does this not apply to Pittsburgh/Sacramento?
