While those are some great thoughts, it makes the regional unfair without an effort of being fair either. By following nuggetsyl's system, they are bound to end up with atleast one veteran team in atleast one of their matches. It is more preferable to the majority of the teams and makes the rankings at the end of the day much more fair. The alliance pairing was horrible but I can say one thing. If there is one team I have scouted very well, it is our fellow team 11. They were in the pits right next to us and against us on the field. I am sure they can say the same for us
