If there were more teams and hopefully, more money to FIRST so it can expand, would they be able to hire more people to run the tournament for longer each day? While I know no one wants to sit there all day, could it happen that some teams compete 10-4, some compete 12-6, and some compete 2-8. There is enough overlapping that teams would have the chance to see all the other teams in action, and also the schedule could be mixed up for more matches. This would also give teams more options while they are at Disney. Teams finishing early, could go back to the hotel early, relax at Disney, or sit and watch more competition. Teams starting early could sleep late, get in a swim, or even eat lunch before they arrived at the site (Speaking of lunch, see post under hit or miss).

I'd like to see more matches on Thursday as well. Especially if there are as many elimination rounds as there would be with the proposed 'regionalizing format.'
