I'll stand by my opinion that matches do need to be randominized and will settle on the fact the way FIRST and Hatch should do it should be changed. There have been some pretty good idea(s) on how this can be accomplished and when the end of the season thread opens up this should be one of the items brought up. Hopefully there will be more teams attending each regional so maybe there will be some more randominzation of a different way. And I also agree with Ken so he's not insane ;-)

There is one on on the volunteer staff to be blame. Please don't make statements that are not true.
The system automatically generated the list. I do not believe anyone on the NYC staff had anything to do with creating the match assignments.

On Friday morning, many of us did notice that certain teams were playing against or with the same group of teams several times in a roll. I brought the issue up with the Regional Director.
Also in a conversation later that day, the senior staff members discussed the possibilities of limiting the number of matches in small venues like NYC with 33 teams only.
