Re: Eight Alliances on Einstein?

There are pros and cons to this suggestion... along with every other suggestion ever made my a human being.

Pros - More matches and more teams on Einstein

Cons - #1 Seed gets automatic bye and can jump right to playing on Einstein.
The #1 seeds don't need to play the extra matches that say... a #2 would have to play. Any team can ride good alliance pairings and be a #1 seed. There are many #1 seeds at regionals that get knocked out in the first round of elimination because of this. It doesn't mean they earned it... just means they got lucky. (As you might be able to tell... we've gotten the short stick many times )

I'm all for more matches... but make it fair to all the teams.

Maybe take the division winners and finalists and put them onto Einstein... but mix up the divisions. You know what I mean?

Example... Alliance #'s 1 & 7 from Archi make it to the finals of Archi. And Newton's finals are 4 & 3. Curies are 1 & 2. And Galileo's are 3 & 8.

A7 defeats A1 in finals
N3 defeats N4 " "
C1 defeats C2 " "
G8 defeats G3 " "

A7 would then play G3 in first round of Einstein
N3 would play A1
G8 would play C2
C1 would play N4

Of course this would be randomly paired with the Division winners playing the division finalists. The division winners would still get the banner and trophy for winning the division but the finalists would have like a second chance.

Just my $.02.
