Re: Are 8 play regional reasonable?

In this thread alone there are people who express a desire for more time between matches, which naturally means fewer matches in total. And there, now you have a metric that benefits from having only 8 matches.
I understand that people like the regionals. If you are in the stands as a spectator and don't really get the whole robotics thing. Then yes. "more polished", air conditioned, and high quality seating is what you would probably what you want. But from a student. I will not speak for anyone but myself, but when I go to a competition, even like 10K this year where our team grenaded 3 gearboxes, broke our climber, broke our active intake, and our shooter loosened, I do not give a crap as to how comfortable the seats in the stands are. I don't care if the pits have AC. I don't care if I'm in a gym or a sports arena. If chairs really inspired me that much I would be in woodcrafting club and not robotics. I care if our robot works or not. Even if it works for 1 match but it works really well. I want to have our robot work.
