The analogy is a bit of a stretch, yes.

However, it just illustrates the idea that I've never met a competitor that wouldn't want to compete more if they had the opportunity to.

8 match play regionals really put teams at a disadvantage to teams that are able to attend, say.... Waterloo where there are 13(!!!) qualification matches, or district teams where they get 24(!!!!!!!!!) matches for the same price.
