Re: Are 8 play regional reasonable?

Yes, I agree, more matches are always better. If I could give teams 12 plays at every regional event in Minnesota, I would. But I can't.
As a newcomer to FRC, I see value everywhere in the experience I saw at the Wisconsin Regional this year. I was inspired enough to become a parent mentor for next season.

YMMV
