GSR had an 8 minute match prediction before lunch, with 9 minutes planned for after.
We lost 30 minutes in the morning of about 50 minutes of lunchtime buffer planned.

Made it all up in the afternoon, even with the manual counting of the disks that became mandatory.

Finished on Saturday by 5:30.

Hearing about all of the time problems at week one events, I feel lucky.
I expect week two to go even better.

Every week FIRST is learning lessons to make the competitions better. I was shocked how trouble free FLR was. Late season events rarely have issues like early season events do.

This was such a pleasant improvement this year at FLR, especially if you remember the incredibly long field fault fix during 2011...
