It's definitly not random, by almost any means. The algorithm needs a fixin'

Consider our matches this weekend..

First match: w/ 313 vs 1017 & 857
Second match: w/ 5 vs 184 & 292
Third match: w/ 240 vs 5 & 27
Fourth Match: w/ 247 vs 240 & 440
Fifth Match: w/ 5 vs 184 & 815
Sixth Match: w/ 240 vs 5 & 1017


So for 6 matches, with potential to see 18 new teams, we saw 11. 7 Repeat appearences.

Our sixth match was almost a pure repeat of our third match (less a swap of 27 for 1017.. who we had already been against)

Also.. I assume coincidence.. in our fourth match, our opponent 440 was directly next to us in the pits, and the other opponent 240 was next to our alliance 247.

2 of the teams we saw went on to elims. My team and I were not happy with how closely related all our matches were. Every match we had someone that was a repeat in a later or earlier match. We were with 5 twice and against them twice also.. they are a great bunch of people but come on now.. 4 matches involving 470 and 5? That's not anywhere near "random"
