Nj regional matches not random

the matches in nj all have a certain order to them.

ex.

our match schedule was
1
11
21
31
41
etc....

that was a good thing( no back to backs)

however
we had the same team against us every single match

and the lower number team on the opposing alliance was our alliance partner in the next match

an example would be our first three matches

1: we had 11( lowest number in NJ) and opponents were 25(next lowest) and 486( the constant opponent)

2:we had 25(opponents from 1) and they had 41 and 486

3: we had 41 and they had 75 and 486

this trend just kept on going and going and going.

also since the pits were arranged by numbers i noticed something else while scouting for the following matches i never had to talk to anyone in my row or in the middle rows. all of my opponents and allies were in the same two rows every single match.

i don't think this is right. it should be the luck of the draw( maybe that explains the whole red alliance is better than blue idea)
