Sounds like regional events might get most of the "good" of district events without the districts. At the right event, 60 teams could do 9 quals last year and finish early (granted it was week 6). Bet they're looking to extend that around the country.
More matches means a more accurate Top 8 and more fun for everyone. I would be more than happy to have 9+ matches at every regional next year, but hopefully not at the expense of Practice Day. Running until 6 or 7 on Friday would make sense though.
Perhaps the nature of the game means faster reset? Overdrive seemed like a quick reset game. You get bonus points for helping with field reset within a match!
