Joe,

I agree 100%. I think taking the highest & lowest score out of the average would provide a much more accurate seeding. My only condition would be that they find a way to go back to every team getting a minimum of 8 matches instead of 6. If each team could get 8 matches, I feel that averaging the middle 6 would provide a fairly accurate seeding.

About the final multiplier, I must recommend the system I saw used at the Anaheim Rumble held in June. Instead of the winning alliance getting a triple multiplier, each team on the winning alliance got a 300 point bonus added to their score. This made the scores much more accurate in terms of ability because it rewarded teams which consistantly won due to great defense & strategy the same as it rewarded teams which just went for high scores with no concerns for defense in qualifying rounds. I was somewhat skeptical when first told of the scoring system, but was a firm supporter of it after watching a few matches. I would highly recommend something similar if alliances are used again next year.

Hope everyone is looking forward to the start of school as much as I am!!! (really, no sarcasm there what-so-ever) Just means we're getting closer to the 2000 competition and the new & improved Chessy Poofs!

Jason
