I loved the full practice field at Worlds. When my team played at our regional competition, I was disappointed by the lack of chains / box on the small practice fields. This did not give an entirely accurate simulation of gameplay on the field. In addition, I saw many frisbees fly through the goals and into the pit area, which could have potentially been dangerous.
I would not suggest a full practice field at the regionals, but a practice field that is a closer replica of the field would be great, especially for calibrating autonomous and practicing lining up shots.

I'm fairly shocked at that. It sounds like we were spoiled here in the Michigan. Our practice fields were 1/3 fields that had pyramids, goals, and were surrounded by batting-cage style hanging nets that made it safe for everyone. Perhaps First-In-Michigan builds the practice fields and moves them around with the competition fields. That would explain their relatively high-quality. They were laminated plywood bolted together, all built in a folding style so they could be packed away.
