Regarding Jeff's comments.

I am personally inclined to agree with him, I don't see the three team coalition as
being a bad thing. Somewhat bizarre that FIRST should make such a change in the middle
of things...then again, nothing is bizarre for FIRST.

I would suggest, however, that the order in which the top 8 pick their partners is somewhat
unfair. Personally (and this does not represent the position of my team, as I haven't asked),
it seems to me that the #8 seed should have first choice of partner, to maximize the likelyhood
that the final matches will be more even, and hence more exciting (not that they haven't been
exciting, mind you, but a little more excitement never hurt anyone :-)).

Just a thought.

Tom
