Arrow 17 matches per team @ AZ?

Using some random calculations based on VCU's schedule, I've estimated that at AZ each team will play every 4.9 rounds. With rounds scheduled every 6 minutes, teams will play about every 4 to 5 rounds, in other words every 24 to 30 minutes. With 8.5 hours of scheduled preliminary rounds, conservatively, that's 17 rounds per team! I wonder if that's what the schedule is really going to look like next week. AZ's first year had ~11matches/team, and that seemed like a lot. I bet the rest of you are wishing you were going to Arizona now. There is an advantage to being small
