Re: 2013 Lessons Learned: The Negative

How about a compromise? 6 fields, one division each; with ~70 teams each, there should be more than enough time for 10 matches or more. How do you deal with 6 alliances on Einstein, you ask? A round robin! I think that would be awesome, getting to see matches between so many amazing alliances. You could decide the winner straight off the round robin, or take the top 2 for a final best-of-3 (maybe if one of the finalists has a better W/L it gets to start with a win?) Yes, obviously this would take more time with the current format, but you could probably slice an hour or so off the divisions and still have 10 matches, not to mention all the time currently wasted before and during Einstein...

I can't take full credit for it, as it was discussed in TBA chat... still think it would be really cool, and I think it's pretty clear that there is room for 2 more fields.
