The setup for nationals doesn't sound that dissimilar to the teams:pitch ratio at Warwick earlier this year. I came from Scotland and it basically cost me over a pound a minute to play under 80 minutes of ultimate. Fair enough, if it's a small tournament (in terms of importance) then it's your own choice to pay that, but for the national finals a team like Aberdeen gets "shafted". Limiting enterant numbers due to pitch numbers is a pretty logical thing, unless the TD is a money grabbing git (not directed at anyone).
