Here's my question for you, and it's a simple one - Do you think 8 play regionals are a bad experience for teams?

If you're going to pick a fight, don't do it with Jon Stratis. He is one of the most passionate and driven people I know. He's also one of the most graciously professional people I know. No more insults are necessary.
8 play regionals aren't ideal for anybody. Everybody on the RPC wants to give teams as much field time as possible. If you don't believe that, just talk to them face to face. They all want the best for teams, and they work their butts off to make that happen.
I don't believe 8 play regionals are a bad experience for teams. My team had a great time at both 8 play regionals that we went to. I've spoken with hundreds, if not thousands of people at events, and I've heard very positive feedback. Stronghold is an amazing game, and getting to watch it live is a ton of fun. I'd rather have 8 matches of Stronghold than any number of matches of Recycle Rush (except maybe zero...). So no, 8 matches is not inherently a bad experience. It isn't perfect, it could be better, but it's not bad.
Things are only going to get better in Minnesota. We are recruiting new volunteers, and are in the process of starting new events. I brought down 30 people this year, I'll have more than 50 next year. A few years down the road many of these people will be in key volunteer roles, some already are. Again, things are only getting better in Minnesota.
