With longer matches, a fewer number of them seems like a given (unless they can miraculously speed up the queuing, loading, unloading processes considerably, which seems unlikely given that many events struggle to stay on schedule as it is). Less matches seems like a bad thing at face value. Less time to recover if something goes wrong. But strategy would become more important than ever.
I have estimated that if matches are 3 minutes, teams will have approx. 5 matches at Championships, assuming that there are 3 robots per alliance and the divisions are about the same size as last year (100 teams per division).
