It will depending on the score keeper.

Some of them will be willing to sit there for 2 hours looking over a list of over 94 matches and with 4 teams per match, and checking each of the 376 numbers just to make sure the matches are fair... Some of them will probably generate the list in half an hour, look at the statistics and try to make sure the matches aren't horribly similar...

All I can say is, good luck. I am sure they did the best they can to make good matches for you.

Also, I was messing around with the scoring program a little bit last night, and generated a match list with teams having at most 2 similar matches with same teams instead of the outrageous 6 or 7 we got at Sacramento the night before. It would've been so cool using that match list instead, but it just got to appear here instead of during one of the 30 tries at Sacramento.

And also, thanks for the critism about this problem... FIRST is aware of it, and are trying to fix it from year to year. I think it's time for constructive critism, and tell FIRST something that can help them fix the problem, instead of just saying "anything would be better than the system currently in place".
