Because as it stands, this system sure is making teams stay in the same proximity to the boiler for the entirety of playoffs. (unless you count switching between alliance colors) And I can't really think of a good reason for this except "because FMS"
It is also interesting that your method of allowing the alliance to pick spots is EXACTLY what they will be allowingin subdivison playoffs ... this is for subdivision playoffs at Houston and St. Louis.

ALLIANCES may start with any three (3) of the four (4) ROBOTS on their ALLIANCE during Subdivision Playoff MATCHES and during the Championship Playoffs. The list of three (3) Teams participating in the MATCH and their selected PLAYER STATIONS is called the LINEUP

T11. The ALLIANCE CAPTAIN must report the LINEUP to the Head REFEREE, or their designee, in writing prior to end of the preceding MATCH (e.g. the LINEUPS for Quarterfinal 2 must be submitted before the end of Quarterfinal 1). If there is no preceding MATCH, the LINEUP is due no later than two (2) minutes before the scheduled MATCH time.


Not sure why this method is NOT what we will be doing for District and Regional Play. It would be nice if it could at least be used for the District Championships.

The assignment of field positions will be even more critical in District and Regional play because of the smaller number of teams to pick from.
