This meant they had to finish qualification matches on Saturday afternoon before they could do alliance selections and eliminations.

And the weather delay continued through Saturday morning. Matches did not start till 11:00 Saturday morning after ending at 3:45-ish on Friday. On top of that many local school districts sent buses to pull their students home mid-day Friday and would not transport students on Saturday. It was a mess and FIRST did the best they could.
