I think all of you are all getting woried nad upset about teams throwing matched and the like and I have just a few tings to say about it all :

1) With only 4 matched, throwing even one could put you wayyy back in seeding.
some of you think that is what teams will want, so that they get picked by their "top 16"
friends. Well, with so many teams at florida, whos to say who will be top 16 in flordia.
it may be 16 teams that didnt go to any regional ! whi knows. You throw a match.
Then find out your partner got beat. yer both screwed. IT's SAFER TO GET to
the top 16 on YOUR OWN.

2) There are all these big names flying around (BomB squad,delphi,Beatty,Wildstang,etc...)
I'm not on a team this year, so I feel I can rightly say, that I know all of these teams.
I've met with them many times on and off the field. They are all good people.
and None of them would throw a match.Regardless of anything else. Now I dont know EVERY team,
So I wont comment on ALL of them, but of the teams that "should" make the top 16.
None of them, to the best of my knowledge are"Back door deal" teams.
They are all teams with integrety and gracious professionalism. So if you all think these
"power house" teams will be the top 16, you've got nothign to worry about, because they're all good teams.
You don't gain the reputation of being a "power house" team by making back door deals. the teams that are
"feard" and feared becuase they are known to build good robots, not make good deals.
So,to sum it up... If you are worried that the top 16 teams will be the big famous powerhouse teams
ans that they are going to be making back door deals. Dont be.
