Chris,

I like it.

Teams could be randomly divided into A, B, C, & D groups. A's always play A's etc.

In this way teams would only have to scout 70 teams -- manageable.

I don't think that FIRST would devote each stage to specific groups because then one group would always be out in the sun :-(. But perhaps a rotation could be arranged. For instance, groups could all play on the same stage for rounds 1 & 2 but then switch for 3 & 4 and switch again fro 5 & 6, etc.

Actually, I think that this proposal helps make FIRST more TV friendly and therefore I think it should be adopted this year if possible.

One additional benefit is that it would also give teams a natural alliance to cheer for in the Final Four, thus keep more people invovled in the outcome of the Finals.

I see only upside to this proposal.

Other thoughts?

Joe J.
