:However, a system that prematurely eliminates the possibility for some robots to be on the winning alliance is innately unfair. A system that doesn't allow the #1 seed to pair with the #2 is not a good system, as it could very well be forcing the second best robot to get a lower place than even the second pick of seed #1.
oes this make any sense? Maybe??
Since you ask...
What part of the existing rules are you objecting to? You made some very abstract statements without explaining how you feel they relate to specific aspects of the competition.
The bottom line is that fairness is a very subjective -- there is no way to design a contest like this such that everyone will consider it fair under all circumstances.
