This point confuses me. Not because I don't think it is completely valid, but because I don't understand why it was happening. I worked the practice field all three days at the UTC regional. On Saturday I was asked to keep working the field until (I believe) 4:00. This is, obviously, near to the end of elimination rounds. I absolutely think that this is what should have been done. I know that, aside from giving alliances time to practice, there were 3-4 teams who spent a few hours working with their robots once teams in an alliance were no longer using it. I was happy to continue working the field during this time (although I will absolutely admit to leaving to watch ACES High play in the semis and finals, considering that they are my former team's sister team). I don't really understand why practice fields were being shut down before eliminations even began at any event. I can see shutting them down once eliminations have begun at the championships because it is the last FIRST event of the season, and teams can't really bring their robots back to work on in between finals matches. But I don't understand why, when at UTC we left the practice field open until 4:00, the fields were closed before 1:00 at other regionals or championships.
