I agree with the top 16 teams being chosen instead of just 8. After all we are talking about a field of 200 at the "Nationals". It should be bigger!
How about if they just have one or two practice matches and start the competition on Thursday afternoon. How do we go about making suggestions to FIRST?

The magic numbers for the regionals has been 81, 82 or 83. That is the number of total matches played. Apparently, that is what FIRST feels they can fit for the time given on 2 fields.
So, if there are 2 stages, they can fit 164 matches (using the magic number 82). This will allow 200 teams to each play 3.28 matches.
If three stages, then the number of matches is 246. This will allow 200 teams to each play 4.92 matches.
