Assuming that each Championship gets 400 teams, are we going to see 4 ~100 team divisions (like the 2014 champs) meaning we will likely see 8 matches per division or are we going to see 8 divisions with 50 teams? (which seems like a bad idea from robot strength but fun when you get to play 12 matches). Could 6 fields work? How would eliminations work on Einstein in that case?
Has this been announced anywhere?

EricH and I hashed out the math
here. With a 6-minute cycle time (so either a really fast reset game and/or dual fields), you can get 10 plays out of the 2016 schedule with four 100-team divisions.
