I agree.
We went to NJ that year and played Miss Daisy 4 times and Robotic Plague 3 times. We had a total of 7 matches.
My only complaint is that we went to NJ to meet many new teams. Why go through an entire weekend only to meet a few.
This happened though in '08 also for a few regionals. In Chesapeake '08, we saw the Robo Raiders (75) 4 matches in a row. 3 Against and 1 with them.
