80 Qual matches ~= 9.5 hours of play.

Some venues might be smaller, because they may not have enough space for spectators or pits.

Events can always add that extra rookie or veteran to accommodate special circumstances.
You can see last year's district event totals here.
The list of teams in Michigan indicates there are 396 teams with a permanent number (which I think means that many are signed up for an event) and 25 with a temporary number. So, where is event #20 going to be?

396 teams * 2 plays / (40 teams/event) = 19.8 events.
