In addition I would suggest........

Start matches on Thursday afternoon with a single practice on Thursday morning. This would allow 2 seeding matches this day.

Eliminate inspections at the championship, just have weight and size. Afterall the robots were shipped directly from the last event, unless an engineer hid in the crate how would it have been changed from the last inspection.

Add another 2 fields that all teams (divisions) would play some matches on with their division. With the size of 85 teams in a division you need 10 or more seeding matches to really sort out the best.

Eliminate the QP using the losing teams score.... did anyone actually score for the other team. Unless the game structure is different this did not work.

I like the ideas that Joe has presented. 3 on 3 will give you more matches and through put but at an expense. The long trip to the fields, uphill both ways, snowing and raining.
