In Reply to: thoughts on the finals Posted by Pat Bogard on 2/4/2001 5:07 PM EST: I suppose that unless one alliance is easily the better alliance, going second is a huge advantage. There is going to be a lot of risk involved in getting those monster scores many of use think are possible. If you know what you have to beat you know just how much risk to put into your score. But then, FIRST has sort of equalized it because if you DO go second and beat the first alliance's score, you have to go first in the second round. At that point, it will be all or nothing for the alliance that went first in the first round. As to which alliance goes first, I think that it spelled out in the rules: the alliance with the higher rank goes first in the first round. As to the Semi-finals at the Nationals, I don't know how they are going to work it and I don't have the rules handy. What would teams think of this proposal (assuming the rules don't spell it out yet): Re-rank all the alliances that make it through the quarter finals (a.k.a. the group champions) based on their highest score in the quarter finals. Then have Seed #1 play Seed #4 and Seed #2 play Seed #3. Have the higher ranked team go first in the semi-finals. In the Finals, have the alliance that scored highest in the Semi-Finals go first. What do you think? Joe J. |
