Re: Are 8 play regional reasonable?

Throwing more people at it is not a solution, asking everyone present to put in more hours also isn't a really viable solution either - to go from 8 to 12 qualification matches would require an additional 5.5 hours of matches (given the public schedule for North Star, which has 11 hours for quals listed, if I counted right). You can't just squeeze that in to what already amounts to 12+ hour days for the volunteers, and there's no way adding additional people could save you that much time.
