Re: More then 7 matches?

Since we already have to fly in on at least Tuesday due to unpacking of crate on Wednesday,
Why not allow unpacking of the crate with time to setup the pits, fix robot (if necessary) and allow the use of practice fields.
That would also be a good time to get your info from pit admin, attend workshops on Thursdays (rather than during matches on Friday), and other business such as inspection of robots.

Then,
Thursday could have practice matches only in the morning, have the opening ceremony and run 2 real matches after lunch.
Friday could have 6 matches since the opening ceremony already took place.
Saturday could run status quo.

That would give 10 matches and a better representation of the top 8 teams.

With so many teams, I am all for more matches.
