I did it in 2001 & 2004; 64 (I think 2004 was the 65 team year) teams, 8 fields in Marietta, GA. The first day was just sign-in, opening ceremonies, an exhibition game.

Totally wasted day, and the rest of the tournament was really drawn out.

The math is 64 pool games; 8 rounds of 8 games. Coach luncheon and draw (if not done in advance), check-in, opening ceremonies, play two rounds opening night. Play 6 rounds day 2, draw that night (if pool used for seeding), team parties that night.

Day three, play 6 rounds of elimination bracket (no one sent home, 9, 11, 1, 4, 6, 8). Day 4, play 7 rounds of elimination (9, 11, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9). There would be 8 winners, 8 losers left; day 5, finish the tournament.

It could Tuesday thru Saturday, with Sunday as a rain day and travel day. I believe that is the Premier plan, more or less.
