I would actually give a "best guess" based on past experience with the event size. (not actual size below--but in that "class")

Ventura: 40-team
Silicon Valley: 60-team.

40-team events run closer to 12 matches/team. If the cycle time is long, 11 matches. I want to say Ventura ran 12 last year.
60-team events would tend towards the 9/10 match mark.


One way to get a decent estimate is to look at last year's data for event size and matches played, then see if the size is the same this year. 1-2 minutes different in cycle time between games might not add up to enough to make a difference.
