Again, just to set the record straight, the match pairing algorithm is NOT what FIRST wanted. It was implemented by the software developer without the concurrence of FIRST. It was not corrected during the season, despite multiple FIRST requests.
FIRST knows the match pairing algorithm is a problem. They know it is an intolerable situation that caused significant problems with allowing teams to fairly display their capabilities and performance. It will NOT be continued next year.
