: You've got it, now!

: : 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?

: With 220 teams, 246 qual matches would be 4.5 per team.

: That doesn't necessarily prove there will be a third stage. There are
: other ways to increase the total numbe of qual matches: longer hours
: or decreased time per match (for example, by overlapping matches on
: one field with scoring on the adjacent field).

It seems like the lights have been turned on all over the place because i got a little while ago and then read that Jeff got it...
ok, so the two stage thing isn't very cool, continuing 3 stages would be better but who knows...
