Re: Number of Matches at the Championship

This will allow for at least 10 matches and not even interfere with all of the money and extra day it would take for the venue or the teams to take out of thier pockets. It is a reasonable thought.
Let me just point out one of many logistical issues that would arise, if that were to be implemented. You'd need to rearrange inspections. Last year, with our crew of inspectors, we were working hard all day Thursday, and a bit on Friday morning. So you'd either need many more inspectors (roughly 2 to 2.5 times as many, I'd estimate) and a few more scales and sizing boxes, or you'd need to open the pits for inspections on Wednesday afternoon (after the uncrating) and convince teams to get their inspections done at that point.
