Re: 2013 Lessons Learned: The Negative

Biggest problem this year? Low number of matches. DC we got 8 matches for 60 teams. There was simply no hustle. The ranking algorithm this year was quite decent but needs time to work. 8 matches meant we saw ~2/3 of the field. Champs was the same issue but instead of 2/3 of the field it was 40%. It also means your season is more or less at the mercy of the scheduling gods. This was compounded by the, as Jared put it, teams that weren't Championship caliber issue. I had matches at CMP where my partners put up a combined 6 discs. Is this a championship or is it an exhibition? If it's the former then we need to be a lot more selective.

I have heard that they're looking at using the Ferrara Theater for the more widely-attended conferences next year.
Just tell me who to contact about it and we'll have them broadcast online (at least audio) and recorded to be posted online next year.
