Re: Are 8 play regional reasonable?

Simple solution.
Run the event until you play required number of matches per event i.e. Friday and/or Saturday.
And before anyone mentions about volunteer limitations and scheduling, then I say follow the suggestions above and adjust price accordingly.

This can become a very sensitive subject whenever price is involved, especially when other programs pay less AND play less vs. others.
We played a sanctioned regional last year in a high school gym for $5000.00 with no practice field in the building.
