Ya looking at Philly and GTR again for only the lowest and highest number teams' schedule I do notice it. The schedules look pretty good when you go match to match, but individual team schedules show the trend. Immediately looking at them, they were much better than my schedules so I figured they were randomized. I guess the difference was fair (low) quality of my schedules versus better quality of reagional.

I agree that 10 MMS doesn't fix the initial team order problem, I didnt say it did (I thought they randomized team list). I was just stressing that the more important problem is the default MMS is too high (and is generally being used) and we may see duplicate opponents. Both problems can be easily fixed due to MatchMaker's flexibility. I just hope they realize these problems. Unfortunately, I don't have any championship scorekeeper volunteers on my team anymore (so I can't rant about this stuff at the airport like last year
) Good work as usual Joe.
