Randomize is best

Yes, there is a chance of the second or third or fourth best alliance being eliminated on the way the the Final Four, but this is not anything new. The ranking as it is is not perfect. It is just as likely that second best alliance plays the best alliance prior to the finals. Similar fates are likely to befall the 3rd and 4th best alliances which are often eliminated prior to the semi-finals. I really think that this would be a great system for FIRST to adopt. As to scouting, I think that teams could greatly scale back scouting of teams from the off group. Teams could more or less limit scouting to the semi-finals & finals from each group. If teams knew which group they would be up against in the Final Four (say A plays B and C plays D) this would simply scouting even more. Joe J. |
