Re: Number of Matches at the Championship

I know I've posted this somewhere else as well (I just can't find it), but instead of adding two more divisions, I think you could increase the number of matches per team by putting two fields in each division. One field could be running reset and having the robots get all set up while the other field is running a match. There's 9 regionals in North America in weeks 3 and 5 so there should be enough fields. With reduced set-up time you should be able to fit in more matches without having to worry about extra volunteers and crossover between the radios.

There's still the issue of space on the dome floor but if you only add a field without the need for any additional screen, equipment, queuing space, etc. it seems like it would be possible
