For example, if a match were split into three rounds and held two days a week, would the overall time span be too long?
Or, once it no longer served a demonstrative purpose, would exhibition matches still be necessary?
If both contestants and spectators felt that a competition spanning an entire month was too long, then the next Academy Championship would likely be condensed into a single week. Like a sports meet held over several consecutive days, rather than only on weekends.
If exhibition matches lost their necessity, the total of twelve substitute players would certainly be reduced, as there would no longer be any opportunity for substitutes to take the field.
In addition, the selection of official contestants would most likely no longer be directly determined by the academies.

Of course, in that case, the Golden Cup schedule would need to be adjusted, and the Academy Championship would have to be moved back to the second half of the semester.
