Seeding is meaningless, but having no variety at all in the qualification play is like only having one qualification round. Did we pay $6000 to play a mini event with only 5 other teams?
Please note that this problem was seen and pointed out BEFORE these regionals.
This seeding in unimaginative and damaging to the spirit of the game. If it is the result of someone's "policy" they should take a close look at what they have created. From what I am hearing here it is damaging the experience of many teams this weekend and should be changed for TODAY'S matches.
