I'll personally march through the pits on Thursday morning and recruit extra volunteers for you, if it means we get an extra match. I know some of my friends will do the same. Heck, I bet you I can get at least 50 extra volunteers just from the attendees of my seminar on Wednesday night. Let's all work together to make sure all teams get the most bang for their buck this week! FIRST has been doing an amazing job of making things more team centric over the past year, I have complete faith that they'll make the right decision here and get us more qualifying matches.

Not only would more volunteers help here but teams show up early for your matches! This is only a preliminary schedule, if were running ahead on Thursday FIRST may realize that this turn around time is too much and add some more matches on Friday. Don't be that team that refuses to show up until the time printed on that schedule.
As a team do everything you can to help speed this schedule up.
Without breaking any rules or causing dangerous situations
Show up early for matches.
If your a 30pt climber know what needs to be done to get your robot down and help the field staff do it, as is appropriate.
Don't wait till the last second to turn your robot on, be ready to go early.
This isn't anyone's first competition, work efficiently
