This is an interesting idea. Each division has 2 fields, with alternating matches. We know this seriously increases throughput (to 2x or better than that of a single field), so more matches could be played. Divisions could roughly double in size while retaining 4 divisions. You don't have the sound-pollution issues of having 8 divisions in such close proximity, and you could even run an expanded elim bracket on each division to keep the proportions right (run 16 alliances with a set of Eighth-Finals)
