Claiming that 4:45 is an unrealistic turnaround time is false, and not the way that match turnaround times are usually described. Most events in season run sub-7 minute turnarounds (from start of match to start of match). It is not especially ambitious to run turnarounds that are a bit over 7 minutes. Don't forget that, aside from some practice robots, these robots have mostly run enough matches to make connection to the field old hat.

Whoops, I feel really, really dumb now! I'll edit all of that out soon.
In that case, plenty of time for 10 matches with 3v3. If we switched to 2v2, we'd have to play 7 matches. A little bit different... My points about how match scheduling works I think are still valid, but 10 matches in a 16 team event isn't ambitious for 200 minutes. My mistake.
