Re: [Official 2005 Game Design] OK, so YOU design the 2005 game...
I have one very simple suggestion for trial.

Currently, the top 8 are allowed to pick within themselves for the finals. Now, while you do want to reward the top teams for their performances in the qualifying rounds I suggest that, to mix it up:

The top 8 are "frozen"--that is, they cannot pick from within themselves.

Team 8 picks first, and then so on through 7, 6, 5...

The biggest flaw with this idea is that it leaves it so that teams that *do* deserve to qualify for nationals might not. But if that is the issue, than why do we even have finals, and not just go with who did the best during the qualifying matches.

Just something to mull over...
