Re: Am I the only one who LOVED the seeding system this year?
I guess I kind of made this thread partly to see where everyone lies, and partly because I don't want to lose something that did such a fantastic job of ranking teams because they want to hold on to the concepts of winning and losing being the most important things in a match. I think it makes students and adults think a lot harder when there's more than one qualification strategy on the table. Deciding to take the high risk high reward close match win, or the no risk minimum reward 6v0? Throw a match to maintain your seed, or go for more points with an epic qual you might lose? I guess I like that these choices exist, and I only dislike that people thought it was immoral or un-GP to choose one path over the other.
