Well, if you figure 8 hours of competition on Friday(480 minutes), with an average of 7-8 minutes per round(with scoring time), and the 3 stages like they had last year...that gives you a total of about 180 rounds...

If you figure in 4 teams per round and roughly 200 teams, that figures out to right around 3 per team on friday alone

Then there's saturday...with only 8 alliances competing in elims, that gives most of the day for more qualification rounds...without a definite Florida agenda posted, let's say that qual rounds run from 9 to about 2, with an hour in there for lunch...that's another 4 hours(240 min)...which comes out to about another 90 rounds

So, on saturday, that gives each team, on average, about another 2 rounds...for about 5 overall

So, if i did the math right(it's late and i'm tired), that's only 5 qual rounds, which does seem awfully low...does anyone else see possibly another stage making an appearance in '99?

one more stage does this to the math...

total rounds: 360
total rounds * teams per round: 1440
average rounds per team(assuming 200 teams): 7.2

just one of the many ways to solve this problem...

Nate
