Wraithfighter is an unknown quantity at this point
In the WRRF regional last year (using the old 2000 bots), seeded teams were allowed to pick other seeded teams.

Guess what happened?

1 picked 2.

3 picked 4.

5 picked 6.

7 picked 8.

9 picked 10.

11 picked 12.

13 picked 14.

15 picked 16 and 17 (17 teams, lowest ranked seed got a third player).

As one would expect, seeds 1 and 2 won it.

This destroys the competitiveness of the last round. The best teams are together, and there is no hope for those below them.

I REALLY hope the rule gets changed.

(btw, the WRRF regional takes place in fall, using the previous school years' robots)
