Re: Championship Event - Where the "Random" Match Sorting Really "Shines"
Well, not to whine and complain, but considering the fact that during the championships, my team was paired with one of the same teams for 3 of our matches in Curie. I don't think it was that random, considering that there were about 80 other teams in the division, and we were never against that team.
Granted one of the matches was during the practice day, but even at Regionals I have found similar things happening.
And to reitterate, many of the same teams do win reoccuringly because of the pairings, and many wonderful teams lose because of the same reason.
However, it does help to have some of these pairings because some of the teams just don't have the experience. Then again, rookie teams win regioanls so, it all depends on the team, I guess.
I am not "hating on F.I.R.S.T." I am just voicing what I think it true.
