If you go for 10 matches per team that's 167 total matches and an average turn time of 5.84 minutes - still somewhat conservative based on the history.

Thanks for the calculations - 5.84 minutes means 3 minutes 35.4 seconds to reset the field, which is definitely doable with a good field crew.


I appreciate the advice for trimming down the number of sheets I use, but my setup is already done - 1306 uses a computer-based scanning system that digitizes the pages, so we have to use many papers. Don't worry, fellow environmentally-conscious people, 1 sheet does not mean an 8.5*11 piece of paper.

Thanks for sharing - I really like this idea, and I'm heavily pushing to get this to work before we leave in 3 days.
