Scheduled set up time for AGDQ was 22 hours. Actual set up time was 42 hours. No run was scheduled to take longer than 15 minutes to set up. 70 runs took longer than that. 15 runs took greater than 30 minutes to set up. .

Setup times are getting WORSE, not better. This is despite the fact that AGDQ 2013 was 100% volunteer based, while AGDQ 2015 includes some paid staff, and tech budget increases measured in the tens of thousands of dollars. The result is hours of less run time, and schedule overruns that leave the finale occurring in the middle of the night EST.
