Re: "Random" match Schedules

Quote from artdutra:

Quote:
* The reason matches are not completely random is because of the algorithms used to "randomize" the matches. Although it may seem like random, adding little things like a minimum time span between a single team's consecutive matches alters the randomness of the results. Now the results are no longer 100% random, but rather the sort of "equally-spaced-out-data" random that people generally associate with randomness.
It is not really completely random. You are more likely to play with the same people that you were competing with and against rather than someone else that is minutes out of your range due to the algorithm FIRST has in place.
