Re: How many rounds are there going to be at Championship?

Even though Bill said in his blog that they were aiming for 9 matches per team, it appears to me from the extra schedule time that they could be looking at 10. There has been some other discussion about the faster turnaround times this year due to the real time scoring, averaging in the low 5's by the end of the season. There are 16 1/4 hours (975 minutes) of qualifying matches in the schedule. At 9 matches per team and 100 teams, that's 150 total matches for an average turn time of 6.5 minutes - really long. If you go for 10 matches per team that's 167 total matches and an average turn time of 5.84 minutes - still somewhat conservative based on the history.
If they used a 6 minute average and 9 matches, there is an extra hour and 15 minutes in the schedule; why even take the dinner break on Thursday and come back for an hour and a half when you could run to 6:15 and be done for the night?
