Re: More then 7 matches?

I don't see why it would be so hard to compress the schedule a little and give all the teams that are spending a lot of money more rounds in Atlanta...

Let's see...

Have inspections available Wed. night so that teams that can make it in early Wed and uncrate can get their robot inspected. Rely on trust that teams are not working on their robot other than just getting it inspected. I bet they could get half the robots inspected on Wed. (since all the robots have been thru inspections at least once, usually more already).

Thursday morning - practice - everyone is scheduled for one double round with a fill in line...

Thursday afternoon - 3 rounds per team
Friday morning - 3 rounds per team
Friday afternoon - 3 rounds per team
Saturday morning - 3 rounds per team

Pick elims...

Sure we might have to come a little earlier, and stay a little later... But this gives everyone 12 rounds... We all are paying a lot of money and time to come to this championship event and I think we all would be willing the extra "sacrifice"...
