I totally agree that this is a problem. This aspect of the game bothers me a lot. In my mind at West Michigan it would have been much better for the HOT team to not seed. Yes that means it very well could have been "wise" for them to throw matches. Now obviously this is not in mosts mind a gracious professional act, including mine. And this is something I would never expect the HOT team to do, (which they didn't as I watched them continue to put up high scores towards the end of the matches). But still, this temptation is there and I think a system that totally eliminates this desire to actually seed lower would be much better for FIRST.

Will we see teams "throw matches"?. . . perhapes but I find it unlikely

Will we see teams just not try as hard as they might have otherwise?. . . in my opinion this is possible and quite disapointing.
