Outstanding work.
Hypothetically, say two very low numbered teams (0.1 and 0.2) are in the same regional. They are also the best teams at the regional. They are very close to each other in competition, but far and away from any other team there. According to the algorithm, it would be safe to say that 0.1 and 0.2 play each other quite a bit, and it would not be out of the question that they both end up with a .500 record.
Given the current algorithm, that would mean the two best teams aren't even close to being captains.
Not fair by a long shot. (However, being a 4-digit team ourselves, we're not complaining)
Hopefully this year the scouts will do a good job and evaluate each team by their capabilities and potential rather than their win-loss record, and the cream will rise to the top come Elimination time.
