Re: How Many Seeding Matches were Played at your Regional?
Great Lakes Region
I just finished as field manager for The Great Lakes Regional

We managed to get 9 qualifying matches for our 58 Teams.

We planned on 6 minutes a match and managed to finish about 15 minutes late on Friday and about 10 minutes late Saturday morning.

BIG TIME PROPS TO ALL TEAMS FOR THEIR COOPERATION and patience with the nagging of the queing team.

Congrats to all teams, Saturdays rounds were awesome.

Two items from the technical side which helped are:
1.the new field radio stand - no radio transmission faults due to transmitters
2.We changed out the cables for the operator stations every half day.

Scoring system still not perfect, we seemed to get random bells horns and gongs after about 20 matches requiring a field computer reboot.

Huge thanks to the folks from teams 279 and 67 for their help in tearing the field down. The truck was loaded 1.5 hours after awards. We could not have done it without you.

I'll be at Detroit next week, I'd appreciated any feedback for the next 3 day Marathon.
