Defining Random

As the person who writes FIRST's tourney software, would you please tell us how you randomize the seeding matches?

It seems to a lot of us that things don't seem so random. We often follow the same team for match after match.

I think that it is may be possible to get a fair random set of matches by dividing teams up into random groups and then randomly shuffling the groups to get your pairings, but I am not quite convinced that is what you are doing or that that would provide a random set of pairings in all cases.

So... ...would you mind sharing a bit of the though process you used to make up the matches.

Also, while I am asking, how many seeding rounds do you suppose each team will get?

Finally, how is FIRST going to split up the divisions? Is it going to be random or will they make sure that Kingman and Las Guerrillas are in different divisions (for example)?

Do tell...

Joe J.
