88 seems like such a nice, even number ...

You would think an experienced head ref would know better ...
Fact is that after build season I pay much less attention to the logistics of the competitions than to my responsibilities as a referee.

My team competed at two regionals this year and due to reffing obligations I was only with them for one day total. After a Finalist trophy in Cleveland (while I was in Chicago) I think they might prefer it that way

That is certainly an interesting idea Gary. By the time a team reaches Atlanta it is not unreasonable to think they could get by with less practice time.
