I figured Orlando had a shorter cycle - after experiencing the log jam of the field this weekend, I'm really surprised they achieved a 6 minute cycle and were pretty much on schedule. We were continually being hounded to move faster while stuck behind 2 other robots exiting the field as they reconfigured to transport config. I think this year's game is an anomaly for scheduling because of the transport config and I hope that those words are never mentioned in an FRC manual ever again.
Emphasis Mine

Running on schedule is a relative term, what the match results don't report is what time that match actually took place. Orlando ran 6 minute cycles so that everyone could get 10 matches. Friday morning matches ended at 12:45 and both Friday afternoon and Saturday morning ran about 30 minutes long. Despite the extended time I am glad that we committed to getting everyone as many matches as we could.

I agree with everything that's been said about the positives of districts. This is my first year in the district system and I really like it so far. I've been talking it up to everyone as I have been at regionals this season.
