i cant decide which is worse: the fact that this thread exists or the fact that this many people (including myself) are posting in it.

99% of the "complaints" i have seen on CD recently are NECESSARY! All of the comments about a bad randomizer are right. Maybe you don't mind playing the same team over and over, but i didn't at GLR (note we only played against the same team about 3 or 4 times, but still quite frustrating. Maybe you didn't experience the atrocity of refs stretching their authority, but i did. I think that most of these complaints are justified. If we don't openly express our concerns with the FIRST program, they will not be able to fix those problems (and it doesn't seem that the randomizer problem was fixed even though we told FIRST about it extensively here on CD.

Complaints are an integral part of improvement, and being a team who was put in a poor situation by the inspectors made me realize that the complaining is just fine. If you don't want to see it, then skip those threads. Nobody is making you read every thread on CD (at least not that i know of)
