Re: "Random" match Schedules
To satisfy a lot of the issues, bring back the 2006 system with a few changes.
1 - no team can play 2 matches in a row
2 - no team can play more than 2 matches in 2 rounds
- ie: you could play match 6 and 8 but then not play till match 13 if there are 36 teams at the event
This is not perfect and your team could end up playing 4 games in 7 matches but that is the worst scenario. You could, in a 36 team regional, play matches 10, 12, 14, and 16 but then not play till match 34 and 36,
The fact is that the longer that you put between matches played the less random the teams that you play with becomes. I seem to remember the same issues being said last year with Hatch. Part of last years issues was that at the regional, score keepers did not set the variables right. At one venue I was at the practice schedule was the same as the match and almost all of the teams played were in your group of 6. A little tweak in software and we had a much better schedule.
We may not be able to use last years match generation as the software belonged to Hatch and they are gone.
