we were against the same team 3 times in a row(team 696), but ironically our team was picked to be on their alliance for the playoffs, which was cool. but yes, we were against team 696 3 times, our sister school 989, twice and allianced with 898 twice. 3 or 4 matches our alliance parters either got knocked over, broken during autonomus, or didnt even show to the match (team 64 was having some major problems). so our bot had to go 2v1 for 3 or 4 matches, which made our matches low scoring, and all but one we lost. this made our rank very low (28th), but since we had a good, reliable robot, we were selected in the alliance selections. Our sister school, Palo Verde, 989, had great alliance teams during the qual rounds, which allowed them to get all the way up to 13th place, and be selected in the alliance selections. In AZ, we commonly had just HALF AN HOUR between matches, not the Hour one user was talking about. something is up with the selecitions, i dont know what. but i do think it is luck. we were 38th seed in LA last year, but when we went to Nationals, we were 5th seed and highest rookie - and 989 had some great luck in AZ this year when we went to that regional. so who knows, better luck next time.
