I don't think so. To get close, either you're running through lunch on Friday (172 matches on a 6-minute cycle) or you're running 5-minute cycle times (which gives 195 matches not counting Friday lunch, and 207 counting Friday lunch). And the field doesn't break down. Give Friday an extra hour and you have a chance with a particularly fast cycle time; give Friday an extra two or three hours and maybe you can do it on a normal cycle time.

However, with that kind of schedule, I'd bet on a minimum 10-match schedule and possibly an 11-match schedule. Just not a 12-match schedule.
