I am also quite disappointed that we only get eight qualification matches.

Both of the regionals I attended ran ahead of schedule, and at both events we ended up watching chicken dance, etc for a pretty decent stretch as the staff wasted time* to get us back on schedule. These were at regionals where the vast majority of teams hadn't been to a previous event. I really don't think it's necessary to be conservative about the time between matches at a championship where everyone has already gotten their robot to connect to the FMS at a previous event, and where we have lots of expert volunteers.

More matches should be a top priority. I'm with Mason - tell us what you need to make more matches happen and I'm sure you'll have some cooperative FIRST students, mentors, and volunteers ready to get us there.

*It's not a knock on the staff at those events, by the way. They were running ahead of schedule, after all.
