Two things:

1. Off topic a bit, but every time that a thread like this pops up, we are justifying the current failure that is the match sheduling system. By saying that it levels the playing field, people from FIRST think more and more that this is acceptable. I'm going to be blunt and say it: I ama against the current algorithm (spelling?) and expect first to come up with something better that will pair us with and against a bigger variety of teams

2. There are verteran powerhouses (someone mentioned 25 and 254) but there are also rookie powerhouses. Maybe they dont win a regional every year, but every year you will see rookies that mow down veterans. 1503 won 3 regionals last year, with 1114 (both relatively new teams). It's a fact that rookies and veterans are both FIRST teams, and given similar knowledge, they will both perform well.

Let's let FIRST know that we want to play against everyone, rookies and vets.
