17 matches per team @ AZ?

Nuts. If Finger Lakes doesn't get more than 12 then I doubt we will. Oh well, 12's still more than I've ever seen at a match. We're going to be closing early then. Maybe we can schedule breaks every 3 or 4 matches to add some variety to the long periods of time I expect to spend sitting and scouting without relief, or Don's long periods of sitting and announcing from behind the tables. Otherwise we might be finished by lunch each day

Here's how I calculated the rounds (bear with me, I'm taking a stat class this semester and I don't know what's real math anymore )

I took four teams from VCU's schedule of matches and found the average number of matches between the matches they played (as in 9 is the number of matches between matches 1 and 10). I averaged all of those and got 10.82. I then set up a proportion to the number of teams at VCU and AZ. It looked like:
(28)/(62) = (AZ)/10.82... AZ=4.887~4.9 (5) matches between the matches you're playing.

For LA, that works out to 6.63 (6-7) matches between the matches you're playing. Multiply that by 6 minutes/match and you've got 36 minutes-42 minutes between matches, and divide 8.5 hours by those times to get...
14.2 and 12.1 matches total. So if the cap is 12, you'll likely have 12 matches. Hope this helps
