Re: Are 8 play regional reasonable?

[1] Scheduled matches. Crap happens sometimes see AR this year. That shouldn't count.
How can a regional determine the number of matches they'll play when they don't know the game or the time required for field reset? As an example, North Star has 8 matches this year, 10 in 2015 and 2014, 8 in 2013, 9 in 2012 and 2011... It's all highly dependent on the game and what has to happen between the matches.
