"Random" pairings

When we competed at the Lone Star regional we were never with the same team twice.Our team just finished compteting in the Philadelphia Alliance Regional and I found it odd that we were paried with one team twice and another team three times.

I understand the "randomess" of assignments is to make the competition fair, but this situation should not happen. If multiple pairings happen then all the teams suffer. Either a team could get a competetive advantage if the team they keep getting paired with is really good. It could be a disadvantage if the team they keep getting paired with is not functioning or inexperienced.

I don't want to sound like I am whining, it just difficult to understand the difference between the way the regionals are run. I know it is difficult to do the scheduling, especially since teams need enough time bewteen matches to recover.

I use a random feature to generate seating charts for my classes, but I then make small changes to ensure that students have moved or are not sitting next to the same people all the time. Why can't FIRST do the same thing.
