I've competed at a 36 team regional with 12 matches each (smaller than most district events), and we still managed to find the time. If your alliance partner is going to have a match close to your match with them, run through strategy before that match then, it's so important that you have everyone sit down and talk together. It avoids conversation dominance by one team since everyone is relaxed (reletive term

) with plenty (again, reletive) of time for everyone to contribute.
