You have an unstated assumption regarding the number of matches played at a regional. If you're going to do a mathematical treatment, you need to make that assumption explicit. Better yet, derive it based on more basic parameters like the duration of the regional, the average time between matches, the number of teams playing each match, etc. The average time between matches depends in turn on match duration, field reset and robot synch time...and the number of fields being used. I think the 2006 Greater Toronto Regional was doing about four minutes between match starts, alternating between two fields so one match could be setting up while another was still underway.
