Re: Serpentine Draft Alliance Parings, Like/Dislike

I'm not sure that the draft is as much an issue as the seeding methods. I have seen teams that were not even top 25 in performance get ranked in the top 8 because of lucky alliance pairing, while some top two or three teams (like metal in motion) were not ranked.

I was always told not to complain unless you had a solution, but in this case, I don't see an easy one. I know First doesn't want to go back to one-on-one, but maybe a combination? do the current three on three, AND some one on one, and combine the two scores to rank? I would like to see the best teams advance, not the ones that got several lucky alliance pairings.
