Re: Do you like the seeding system?
Having played in a week 1 regional, I know we ended up explaining the ranking system to a number of our alliance partners on Thursday and Friday.

We ended up getting crushed (7-0 after penalties) in one qualification match and it helped our ranking at that time, a lot. Seems to me that if you are winning you want to win the close game but if you are losing you hope for a blowout.

There were also ball incursion penalties all over the place as well at DC which greatly influenced scores.
