This probably explains that email I got asking for qualified individuals heading to championships to volunteer as inspectors....

I'm questioning whether it matters that teams have already passed inspections at regionals. That cuts down drastically on the teams you send back to the pits for fixes, sure, but you still have to run down your checklist for each team. Unless you're just skimming the list and only looking for obvious changes or difficulties, that's still gonna chew up your time.

Also, I think rudimentary time analyses are going to fail here. Assuming .5 hours per team and all that only works if teams are perfectly distributed throughout the day. And we all know that's not true. It's even less likely to be true with this compressed schedule. Unless you start forcibly queuing up teams for inspections, you're not likely to get 100% efficiency from your inspectors. I'm thinking you're going to need more like 2.5x or 3x the inspectors to get things done if you're not running an abbreviated inspection process.
