If not, by switching 3v4 and 6v1 within Round 2 and switching 6v2 and 4v1 within Round 4, you could avoid having a team ever play a match back-to-back.
I was thinking about that earlier, but as some people have pointed out, there are plenty of speeches that can fill time between matches.

I think that Koko Ed was just showing an example of a Round Robin, devil is always in the details.

I like the Round Robin as the finals, it does let every team play against each other.

The only thing would be the "disaster the robot broke" matches, you'd then need to win the others to stay in contention.

So we can have division octofinals?

(Just kidding, I know this will never happen due to the skill gap at Worlds. The alliances would probably end up weaker than at regionals)

Correct. The above schedule could be optimized as you describe. There's actually some cool math behind optimal scheduling of round robin tournaments. Take a look:

I'm willing to bet that at least one division at South Championships will be weaker than at least some regionals or District Qualifying Events.

I was guessing most will at least be the same as some of the large regionals we attend, most likely a bit stronger. However, with lower depth across the South Champs it will only take a few top robots to skew the difference between the six divisions.
