Re: Round Robin on Einstein

I like it as well. For example, if we look at this year, alliances facing Galileo had very little chance of beating them 2 of 3. Suppose that the field Galileo faces in the semi's (I forget which) is better than either of the remaining two, yet does not get to play in the finals because they were forced to play Galileo.

A minor point, to be sure, but just another reason to change the system. If it works smoothly enough, maybe FIRST would considering expanding it to field playoffs, and even regionals, however unlikely in the near future.
