: That's because the matches are put together base on your ranking in the regional.

Having seen the code behind FIRST's scoring system, I can safely say that the results of the regionals have no bearing on the pairings for nationals. Unless the staff at FIRST goes through and creates all 400+ matches by hand for nationals, the matches are paired just as randomly as any of the regionals. The scoring system is designed in such a way that the results from any one event are isolated from the results of any other event. Due to the large number of teams at nationals who have gone to one or more regionals, and the few teams who have done well at these regionals, compared to the many other teams at Disney, it may seem that there is a hi-lo pairings system in place. However, the actual code used to pair the matches is sent a list of team numbers, and the code itself is in a DLL outside of the main scoring system program, so it has no way to access the rankings information stored in the main database.

Just an FYI...

Nate
