People complained last year because teams only got 6-7 matches during their regional ... now your complaining because you get 11 matches and they are closer together (and will be unless more money can be raised to allow for 'extra' days at the competition).

Do the math. 6 teams on the field and 30 teams total. Average time between matches is 5 matches ... and this would pair you with the same teams every match (Ugh!).

So let me challange you. Come up with a better algorithm using only 30 teams and 6 teams on the field at the same time, with not playing the same teams all the time.
