Re: Should the Number One seed be Alloud to pick the Number Two seed?
I agree that it seems unfair, but someone pointed out to me the best rationale for this is your regional doesn't want to send less than the best to Championships...that second seed team may be the second best robot at the regional and if they don't end up at Champs, you'll be represented less well. These teams represent Your regional.

Also I realize that the statistics are way-in favor of the 1-2 seed team winning, but it doesn't always happen. At Greater Kansas City this year, I watch Team Driven 1730 pick SWAT 1806, the second seed and that group (with 1777) seemed to be dominating when they went on to be defeated in the finals by the SIXTH seed. Congratulations to 1785, 1723 and 1710.
