Ouch.

Not from the programmers, mind you--from the people who have to run the program again. Once you get those people doing less work (i.e., making the second day's run automatic), then it's from the programmers. Once they figure out how to do it (how I don't know), then it comes from the teams that get shortchanged one match (or sometimes 2) due to scheduling, then from the programmers again trying to fix that problem.

Could it work? Probably. Is it optimal? No.

Besides that being the way alliances are chosen for Saturday afternoons...
