Re: Championship Event - Where the "Random" Match Sorting Really "Shines"

Same thing at FLR if it had 36 teams instead of 35 assuming the 36th team had # > 365.
Fixed in the original post - thanks. 357 - welcome to the mid-level euphoria. And 1305, well you guys are just flipping out right now, you inexperienced youngins, you . To now have the chance at seeing the algorithm put you with that somewhat-inexperienced 1114 all day long? Go Canada.

I know FIRST probably will not fix this by Championship, but I hope they will by next year. I suggest pregenerating optimized random matrices (ie check all combinations) with constraints for cycle time for every combination of number of teams at a regional and reasonable number of matches. Then randomize the team list to matrix spots and drop them in the corresponding spots in the matrix.
Thank you for the honest and respectful feedback and commentary.
