But it isn't just a random 4 matches from your matches it is the middle 4.

By dropping your highest and lowest you loose both extremes, both the time you were very lucky (when your partner was great or your opponents we lame) AND the time you were very unlucky (your robot broke, your alliance parter was a box with wheels, you played Chief Delphi ;-).

The middle is much more likely to represent your team's true ranking, whether there are 6 seeding matches or 60.
