Talking Re: biggest threat in atlanta

254, 25, and 1425 were the best that we saw and played against.
As everyone talks about who is good and "a force to be reckon with," I believe the true test is that teams who claim to be good should attend highly competitive regionals and see how they fare.
Examples:
FL
SVR
NJ

Many teams got a "free" ride this year because of the pairing algorithm used this year, including the modified ones in later regionals. And many that won regionals have not played against the likes of the very top tier teams.
Atlanta, still, is not a true test, because you only have a chance to play against 1/4th of the field.

On another note, matches should go back to PURE random scheduling so that everyone has a chance to play with EVERYONE and not only against numbered teams near your no.
