: Well Chris, I don't think i agree with you on that. If the elimination teams were picked based on the seeding rounds, then a lot of good teams will also be left behind. It's not about the points.

I agree with everything you say. What I meant was that the seeding rounds should (perhaps) be scored differently such that it predicts success in the eliminations. I still like the idea of picking partners. Joe hit the nail on the head below with the baseball analogy. Keeping with his analogy, my point was that I would rather see us use the win/loss record in baseball rather than total successful bunts. (In other words, there is little correlation between bunting and winning the World Series, so why use it to determine who makes the playoffs?) Last year's system wasn't perfect, but I believe it had more correlation to success in the eliminations than this year's system.

As a side note, I don't want anything to change this year (I hate rule changes once competitions begin).
