Re: Is the qualification match robot randomizer really "random"

To answer this thread's title, no the qualification matches are not random and never were intended to be random. In order to be random, every team needs to have an equal chance of being in every match. Thus, a team can be in multiple matches in a row. Since having a team play 3 matches in a row in not desired, perameters were set so allow time inbetween matches. Within the certain perameters, however, the matches are random (if they don't redo the match list). There is nothing wrong with it not being random, but it shouldn't be called random because its not.
