Before each regional competition begins (and after league members are no longer allowed to make selections for given regional), League members would be paired up with a randomly selected "foe." They would compete with each other for the equivalent of win credentials (Win [2] - Loss [0] - Tie [1]). The league member that earns the most points of the two foes is the winner. Should the two parties earn the same number of points, they get a tie. If any league member receives a total of 7 win points, they are automatically added to the waiting list for the playoffs (discussed later).
---Are we going to do new selections before every regional? Its kind of confusing to me, i may be reading it wrong though. Just the way its written seems that some players dont have teams in a regional. Seems like a stupid question but a lot of work. Maybe we have every user pick one regional that theyd like to do per week and do it that way.

Yes, you select a different set of teams for each regional event:
League members would be provided with a list of regional events and the teams scheduled to attend. In addition, league members would be provided with a list of FIRST awards to be given out. Based on this information, league members would choose 3 favorites for each first award, 3 favorites for number one seed, 9 teams they think would make it to the quarterfinals, 6 teams they think would make it to the semifinals, 3 teams they think would make it to the finals, and one team they think would win the competition. A ten percent limit would be imposed upon this selection process as well. Once a team is chosen by ten percent of league members for a specific award, they would no longer be available for selection.
Points would be awarded to league members in the following way:
4 points for every correct award winner (excludes performance based awards, such as regional champion, regional finalist, etc).
32 points if the number one seed is among the three favorites.
2 points for every correct quarterfinalist.
8 points for every correct semifinalist.
32 points for every correct finalist.
128 points for selecting the correct regional winner.
Remember, the STAR team would be an automatic additional entry into every category for any regional they attend.

Rich Mans Tax-how do we go about selecting who the top 25 is?

After every week of regionals, just sum up the cumulative number of points earned by each participant in the league. When I was thinking about the system, I had the original Ventures in mind, so I was just expecting every league participant to participate in every regional, but you are all more than welcome to reason out that detail. But remember, if participants have the option of selecting the number of regionals they wish to select an alliance for, then their cumulative score would have to be normalized in some weighted fashion (ie. it would be unfair for someone to participate in only one regional and for that reason have an average score that is higher than others who have performed consistently well, but over more regionals). Have fun.
