Tytus, do you remember 2 years ago at Nats we were allied with 1 team twice and then another team twice? I forget how many were in our division, but....
This algorithm hasn't looked any different so far to me. I think they should look at the pairings for these kinds of things and run it a few times until these situations are minimized.
But as you just said, I don't think your going to see the "names" in the top 8 with straight wins. I think there will be at least 6-7 undefeated teams, and not necessarily deserving ones. Some of the good teams will go head to head and lose due to pairings also. I think the so called "super alliances" are going to be very hard to build.
