How it may work...
 

I don't have any information, but I suppose that FIRST will have Einstien play on 1/4 of their matches on each field, while the non-Einstein divisions will play only on 3/4 of their matches on their home field and 1/4 on Einstein.

One way to do this would be to divide the seeding matchs up into 4 blocks (for example if there are 8 seeding matches per team, then matches 1 & 2 would be block 1, 3 & 4 would be block 2, and so on) and then have Einstein switch with each division in turn for blocks 1, 2, and 3, going to their home field only for the last block.

I know this is going to sort of stink for Einstein folks who will have to move 4 times while the other divisions will only have to move twice, but it seems silly to make others move just so that everyone is equally uncomfortable.

What do Einsteiners think?

I've been waiting for the Nats since the closing ceremonies of last year's nats! Ask people on my team: I was like "CAN"T WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR WOOHOO!!!" I CANT" WAIT I CAN"T WAIT I CAN"T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
STOP BY THE PIT AND SAY HI TO TIM JOHNSON!!!
If all goes well I'll have a sticker that says "HI MY NAME IS : CHUBTOAD" so everyone from CD can finally know who I am!!!
YEAHHH!!!!!!!!

Einstein moving
 

what if:

assume:
120 matches / division

Scenario #1
------------------
each division plays 30 matches on each stage.
Example:
Einstein: 1-30 on E, 31-60 on A, 61-90 on C, 91-120 on N.
Others likewise.

Bottom line: 25% of Einstein matches on Einstein


Scenario #2
--------------------
All divisions stay home, except for a one-time journey to Einstein.

Each team in the other 3 divisions plays at least once on Einstein (someone might play 2 just because of scheduling).
So, 72 teams / division means 72/4 = 18 matches per division on Einstein. (at most 19 for the odd-numbered team divisions)

minimum: 18 * 3 = 54 matches of non-Einstein gameplay on Einstein.

(120-54) / 120 = 55% of Einstein division matches played on Einstein.
