Speaking of which (in a very round-about way), do the District teams (specifically the NE district) get to go in the night before to unpack/get inspected? Or is first morning a mad house adventure? How are the existing districts schedules set up, and what can we look forward to?

Let's say a district is a Saturday Sunday. Friday afternoon, pit setup and loadin,as well us unbagging and inspection is allowed. The field is set up during the day on Friday. Also,depending on the progress of field setup,there could be filler line practice matches on Friday. Sometimes they do practice matches Saturday morning,but usually by 10 or 9:30 opening ceremonies and real matches will begin.
