I'm going to hijack this thread for a second to thank Rich and 1712 for giving 1391 the chance to share in that privilege of going up against 103's alliance. I thought 1712, 1391, and 381 put up an excellent fight against a very competitive alliance (even if we did get eliminated in QFs).

I also want to echo that match pairings and distribution have been MUCH better this year than in my previous experience. This algorithm is a huge step forward in generating good, distributed matches.
