That could certainly impact the results. I thought that red was always the higher seeded alliance and alliances sometimes change bumper colors during playoffs to maintain that relationship. I'd have to study the database design more deeply to determine the relationships between the matches, alliances and their seeding. I took the easy way assuming (incorrectly?) that blue was always the lower seed. The SQL will get more ugly. I wonder how significant will be the impact on the percentage?
