I noticed this trend last year where top bots often were paired together. I have a statistical degree does not seem like a random enough scheduling. Nonetheless teams especially those without "world credentials" seeming need to play above (scheduling and calls) each year until they finally crack through t the elite status.

There was another late qual game where 1678's (corrected) alliance seeming lost but upon further review it was a tie..that was a critical RP to get them to #1 past us at the time. I'm not saying it was a bad call/review necessarily but again an eyebrow raising..huh? I did not think it possible for 1678 to lose yet they apparently did until the tied decision.
Looking at the match schedule, you guys played against us twice (Q35, Q74), with us once (Q20), and with 254 once (Q52). Having to play against a good team twice is unfortunate, but at least you weren't in match Q67!
