Well, I for one, am very-very disappointed at this stuff.

We played with 470 four (4) times. Two against and two with. I like team 470, but common, we never played Hotbot, Huskies, and many other teams. On average we probably played against/with 10 different teams. I, for one, view this as unacceptable. When you have 68 different teams, and if all didn't show up, i'm sure you would of at least have 60 different teams. Some teams had "easy" schedules, while others had "difficult" schedules. Playing somebody 4-5-6 times kinda wears out and you know their strategy/they know your strategy. I can't see why they just didn't create a whole random "picker" and just exclude out who you already played. I know this has to work many ways with the time and all, but when you start to call teams 10 minutes before the start of a match, i don't see how that becomes a factor. I, for one, am going to take a stab and say that this is the saddest GLR that I have went to. When we went to Pittsburgh, it was beautiful. I don't remember playing any other team more than once, except for 2 times. This new method may not be "big-number friendly" but than just exclude it and create a new one for big scoring. Heck - pull numbers out of a hat! I think FIRST could of done better than what they have...
I'm going to agree with Matt on this. Do something like pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey even...I mean, com'on. I've watched a few matches, and I've heard the announcements, "140, and their partners, 210" like 5x in like, 30 minutes. It's about as rediculous as saying CD isn't the biggest team fanbased website dealing with FIRST.

Also, like what Matt said, you soon know their strategies, so it isn't evenly fair. Team 470 was a great team, both as allies and opponents, but we both knew the persons next move. No offense to you guys, but hey...

Even if you ask teams [not fair, but hey, another idea]....it might balance the universe some.

GLR wasn't all exciting as Pitts., but I still had fun.
