Re: Championship 2007 - Atlanta - What Needs To Be Improved

Not having been in the stands for much of the competition I don't know how things went out there, but I do agree that the algorithm really hurt a lot of teams. Just an example, team 316 was the second seed alliance at FLR this year, a well-deserved spot. Then at Championship they didn't win a single match and came in dead last. I might not know the whole story there, but that seemed more than a little unfair.

There were also 86 teams in the division. There should be no need for any team to play with or against another team twice. As it was I think we played with 1657 twice and against them once, against 49 twice, with 1885 twice, and with 1230 once and against them once. There may even be more that I'm missing. That's four other teams that we should have been able to see in our matches.
