Re: Practice Rounds = First Four Rounds...any qualms?
i've never been a fan of the way the pairing system works. it is as if you are grouped with a set of teams, and you never get to compete either with or against any of the other teams at a regional. at UTC there were at least 5 or 6 teams that we had multiple matches with. i would like to see the match pairings get a little more diversified.

as far as the practice rounds, i didn't really think it hurt anything strategically, its just another case of FIRST grouping the same teams together again and again.
