40 teams for a one-day! That's a lot of people. If you have the space, and everything else went smooth (FMS, field reset, queuing, timing, etc.) I say go for it. But expect the negative feedback from folks who say they didn't get enough matches, or the pits were too small, etc.

We ran Beach Blitz for the first time this year. Two day competition with 28 robots. That meant 12 matches each, plus almost everyone was in elims.

We discussed expanding the number of teams for next year, but don't know if we have the space. I like the idea of 10 matches and more variety of teams though. We also offered workshops in the evenings after matches, and had sponsor giveaways throughout the day.

Ultimately you have to think of the attending teams as customers. What do they want? And what are you willing to organize?
