Question about CMP divisions

So they theoretically have room for 8 more teams, if they want to cut 21 minutes of slack time down to just 7.

In scorekeeper training it was stated that the FMS could only generate schedules with cycle time of whole minutes, I expect they will use 7 minutes for the cycle time. Also, don't forget that the audience selection adds three minutes to the schedule.

The nice thing about 75 teams playing 10 matches is that it does not require surrogates. 76 teams playing 10 matches requires two surrogates.
