Actually, some of your suggestions were spot-on--
We had to change strategies quite a few times after seeing what worked and what
didn't! The preceeding Sunday we had a dry-run practice which took us about 1
hour, 20 minutes, plus we sorta... "worked around" a couple mistakes that day,
so if we had taken the time to correct them on the dry-run, maybe even an hour
and a half.
As I believe you had pointed out to us, our initial "piece reservoir" was indeed
too small, and got enlarged just before the event. And the amount of time spent
piece-sorting was cut down quite a bit, and made a bit more logical rather than
memorized by piece utility. (A "practice sorting drill" 20 minutes or so before
the event revealed a piece-sort time of ... uh... 6+ minutes?)
Apparently those changes plus the experience of doing one already really helped
out on the actual event day!

I definitely think it could still be sped up-- there were some bits of idle time
floating around here and there, but not a whole lot.

I'm looking forward to seeing the 50 minute mark get broken next!
