The first of these obvious observations points back to one of the main reasons FiM was formed -- to ensure enough playing slots for all Michigan teams. The second obvious observation makes us think about how to ensure this when the number of Michigan teams exceeds 360, which seems likely very soon. Extend the season, or run more than three events per week?
When talking to other robots people, we talked about an extended season. The problem is, which way do you go? Push the season out or have kickoff earlier. Each has there pros and cons. Mainly the holiday season.
