As I recall, the Algorithm of Doom was exactly what Alan said it was. Now, some of the events MAY have had the result you described--but that was due to being smaller events.

Typical Algorithm of Doom match would be that you were against one or two really good teams for half your matches, and never with them.

FIRST did release a fix, but it took a few weeks and didn't do much for smaller events, IIRC.
