The old format might not have made everyone happy but the new algorithm has succeeded in making just about everyone unhappy.
I would like to make a move for any system that lets us face as many different teams as possible. I am even willing to play two rounds in a row if this is needed, we have more than one battery, so unless you have a breakdown this should not be a major dissadvatage. The seeding match system does not need to be "random" but it should give the teams the widest exposure to each other. Many of us go to these events to meet as many other teams as possible. Playing the same teams 7 or 8 times greatly narrows that experience.
