This format was used in 2004, and IIRC 2005 at the then Canadian Regional (now Greater Toronto Regional).
It was a Regional with 2 fields. There were ~85ish teams there, IIRC. Matches would run on Field 1, and then after the match, while Field 1 is resetting, a match would run on Field 2.
16 Elimination Alliances were run on an extended bracket.
GTR returned to a standard regional format in 2006 due to the reduced team count as many of the teams elected to go to Waterloo Regional only.
I don't recall if GTR (or by its former name Canadian Regional) is the only event to have ever been held with this structure or not.

I would LOVE to see this again somewhere. There was talk of doing this in NYC and in CT. Nothing really came through. It's just hard to place your team when cheering, it's almost a back and forth. I think they did this in Jersey once upon a time a time ago, I think I'm right about this.
