Re: [FRC Blog]2017 Updates

6 divisions -good.

Round Robin --OK. May make it harder for a lower seed to upset a higher seed by fluke or exceptional 2 match effort.

Division pairs--NO. Should judge each of the 6 divisions separately. "Spread the wealth" a bit. Compatible with the round robin playoff structure. I believe it will be EASIER on the judges. The Pairings are very artificial and for judged awards only so they don't make any sense to me. Yes it will cost a few more medals.

Wild cards-THANKS. I wonder if there would be a positive effect by spreading wildcards down the Alliance captains in order after the Finalist teams.
