I don't doubt you for one minute, but.... The 2nd fields does jack up the expense (or logistics headaches) of each event and the number of volunteers needed by each event. This is a little worrisome if you are trying to promote a strategy of having many, "small", less-expensive events.
In my message I wanted to remind folks of the difficulty of pulling off a low-budget, 1-day event with 35 teams and 7 matches per team on a single field.
Your are right. Fetching and then later returning a borrowed 2nd field, and digging up volunteers to help with the extra duties of running a 2nd field, is one way (one that I like) to make it safe to plan on running 35 teams through 7 matches in one day.
