Re: Are 8 play regional reasonable?
No 8 play regionals are not reasonable, but I think thy are just a symptom of another issue. I don't think 64 team regionals are reasonable.
Good schedule is just far too important in a 64 team regional. Since, in a 64 team 8 play regional, before playoffs, teams can only play with 25% of teams and against 37.5% of teams. Where as in a 40 team 12 play event, team could play with 60% of the teams and against 90% of the teams before the playoffs. Now of course in the 40 team event you are likely to get repeats.
