Just for fun ;-).

Say there are 36 teams at your event. On average, it should take about 5-6 mins for a match to finish, reset, and be ready for the next one. Lets say 6 mins per match cycle. Now, it takes 4 teams to play one match, that means in order for every team to play 1 match per team, it takes 36/4 = 9 matches. 9 matches with 6 mins match cycle means it takes 54 mins in order for every team to play 1 match.

Now, Friday the matches probably goes from 9:15am - 12:00noon, and 12:30pm - 5:00pm. Then on Saturday from 9:15am to 12:00noon. Thats about 10 hours. Given it takes about an hour (54mins) for every team to play 1 match, 10 hours should give about 10 matches per team.

But that's because we only have 36 teams, and each match takes 6 mins. I remembered at bigger regionals, there could be as little as 7 matches per team. It all depends on how long it take to run matches.

Hey, you said just for fun ;-).
