Many off-season events end up around 20-24 teams. Yes, the turn arounds are fast but everyone makes them work. I think it would be hardest on rookie teams but they would have a whole second event to get it right. A luxury they often don't have right now.

Most high school football teams play what a total of around 20 different teams over a 4 year period? I don't think the diversity of the competition is necessary to our competition. I like it but it's not necessary. BEST, VEX, FTC, and many other competitions rely on almost entirely local competitions and it seems to work alright for them. I'm not saying we should be more like these other competitions, but there are advantages of getting teams to multiple events and this system would nearly triple the matches for many teams in these smaller regions.
