Two things....

1. HQ has been on CD for years. Sometimes lurking, sometimes posting under pseudonyms, most of the time just reading and taking notes.

2. Be careful what you wish for. With 100 teams per division there is only so many plays that can be had in a given amount of time. Do teams (and mentors) really want to start matches at 0600 and play until 2100 to get in 2 more matches? See where I am going with this? More matches also equates to more hours. More hours equates to more days. I would venture to guess that most vols and mentors were pretty beat after being on site for 12-14 hours a day for 3 days straight.

I will say though that I absolutely love the idea of more matches and better real time scoring, BUT, I hope that game design doesn't suffer. I don't want "simple" games for the sake of faster reset and easier real time scoring.

I know there are plenty of smart people working on the GDC and I'm confident they can find a way to accomplish both.
