You'd be running 4 matches which takes about 3-4 minutes, followed by at least 3-4 minutes downtime while you're switching between matches. Alternating fields, during the 3-4 minutes that 2 matches are running, the other two fields are doing reset. Same throughput (total number of matches run per hour), but there's some action going on nearly continuously. You're not stuck watching reset.
