I don't know if the mentors of Chief Delphi would agree to this but here is one suggestion.
Create a thread for this purpose. It can be moderated if need be.
Have some criteria for posting.
Some suggestions off the top of my head:
- pros/cons of match generating program
- impact on the team(s) competition experience(s)
- summary

In business, one learns to deal with less than satisfactory situations. It is something that should be handled professionally by each team or team member that participates in a way that does not detract from the team. The developer will get the message loud and clear, esp. if presented in a manner that expresses the frustration but does not come across as 'hate mail' It could be an opportunity to act as young professionals of FIRST teams expressing serious concerns.

The thread can be forwarded to the developer.
Mike, if this is a no as well, I fully understand.
