8 fields were used for two day (well, day and a half) pool play. All double elimination (which started on Tuesday) was played on four fields.
I worked the same exact tournament on an 8 field complex in 2002 (ironically in OK, but not OKC), I believe my tournament was one day shorter. Anyone want to take a guess who won that year?
And yes, it was hot, and we had rain, and it was hot.
Allow me to speculate for a minute, I bet, somewhere in the JO committee minutes, coaches complained about the tournament being too compact.
Sometimes you can't give everybody what you want.
