St Louis is the first regional we have attended in the past four years where we had such non-random pairings. I know many other teams had similar pairings at STL.

In the past, either someone hand-paired or set the flags in the s/w differently. I'd be curious to find out why it worked in teh past but not this year, since this kind of program shouldn't change from year to year.

Part of the problem with non-random pairings is that you only get to interact with a small segment field. There are competitive issues as well. But they are not as major as the interaction issue.

There were other technical difficulties as well in STL, especially with the scoring program. I suspect that in the first weekend of regionals that all these bugs cropped up and there simply wasn't enough manpower to deal with everything.
