O.K. Let me see if I have this straight, it finally hit me what you were
saying Jerry. Let's say there are 220 teams, every team has to run 4 matches.
But first how many matches does it take to get every team to run 1. It takes
55 right (220/4) So therefore to run 4 each it would take 220 mathes, to run
3 it would take 165 matches. Am I finally on the right track... Because
in Hartford there were 41 teams divided by 4 = 10.25 and take any number
and multiply it by the 10.25 to get it close to 85, in this case 8 matches
times 10.25 = 82 total matches.

So I guess now I am a little disappointed because if you think about it you
will only find that 82 doubled is 164 which equals about 3 matches per team,
if there is two stages.

Proof that there should be a third stage at least; if 82 and triple it you
get 246, which would allow us to run basically one regional per stage I think.
Becaue the 246 would allow us to run at least 4-5 Q-matches right?

Does this make more sense?
