Our Chesapeake one seems more like the 2007 one. We saw the same team in matches 4 times in a stretch of 5 matches in a field of 61 robots. How can that be?
Last week at VCU, this never happened.

The match algorithm output varies a lot depending on what parameters (like minimum spacing between matches, etc.) are given to it.
Trying to force too high or too low of a value into the algorithm (such as in a small event setting a high minimum match spacing) will not yield optimal results. As long as the algorithm is given good parameters for the number of teams attending the event, you'll get a good match schedule.
