Re: "Random" match Schedules

The fact that some teams are always against each other worries me. Forget the fact that its the same general group of teams playing each round, but the fact that 190 has played 4 matches AGAINST 175 and NONE with them is a problem. It shouldn't be that hard to make a way to manually swap two of the teams in a match to make that happen.

I also agree that there is an issue with the grouping effect. In years past it has happened to some degree (an effect of the attempt to space matches evenly), but never to this extreme. I have no problem with teams not getting to play in a match with 2 or 3 of the teams, but more than 10 is a little obscene. I have heard good news that FIRST has gotten the message and that they will fix it for the next regionals.

On that note, week 1 regionals have always been the proving grounds for the game and all the associated software. I'm glad that this is the only issue i've seen so far
