In 2000 I believe (yes I was around) FIRST used to do something similar to that. It gave you the match list with 4 teams in a match, but you didnt know who your partner was until you got to staging. Once all 4 teams were there (or as many that showed up) they told who was partnered with who, based on an automated selection. Even that would also work. In 2001, you really couldn't use that system. In 2002 and 2003 they flat out told you your partner before hand.
