Re: Match Scheduling Algorithm Competition

Weighting matches based on current years ranking is inherently unfair. You are punishing a team and decreasing their chance of future success based on previous success, and rewarding teams with low success with a higher chance of future success.

In FRC efforts to make it fair should end after registration; Every team has equal opportunity to compete, build, find mentors, fund raise, etc... No competitive boost should be given to under-performing teams. They had just as much of a chance to make amazing happen as the teams that routinely do, don't punish the teams that work hard for that.
