Re: Serpentine Draft Alliance Parings, Like/Dislike
I think the serpentine drafting is fair. With the qualification pairings of the last couple of years, being the number one seed doesn't actually mean you are the best robot. I think depends a lot on whole you are matched with. Perfect example is the Detroit Regional this year. My team got to compete against the top four seeds but had one of them as a partner once. We were the number nine seed after qualifications and think that if some of those teams were on our team we might have been able to go with one loss instead of 4. That would have made us a 1-3 seeded teaM (BIG DIFFERENCE)
