This is a hard solution to provide, but this is an attractive way forward on what seems to be the consensus biggest negative and probably the only way to even incrementally expand CMP (not that there aren't other considerations that might preclude this). One possible approach would be to run two divisions on each field, one in the mornings and one in the evenings. This would shorten the days for teams and reduce the number of people around for at least some of the time, but would require more volunteers (possibly for two shorter shifts in longer days). At the same time, everyone would still be at CMPs and there would be enough overlap that it would be one event.

I'd lean toward the opposite: 4 100-team divisions,
each with two fields, preferably on the dome floor (space permitting). As long as we're satisfied enough teams are playing in the eliminations, it avoids an extra (Einstein quarterfinal) round of playoffs.
There would be a need for more volunteers, and of course more field sets would have to be used for competition matches.
