Quick question on 5150 series

What is the deal on transitions on the 5150 series. Was surprised when the bike check in was the day before. What about the other stuff. D they have transition tents, checked in bags and clean transition areas like IMs or do you place all of the gear next to the bike

At New Orleans everything was close to the bike. The bike check in the day before was just some non sense to get people there the day before.
