Thanks, Joe.

And here, I thought it was just me when I got the impression we got horrible CMP match schedules every year. Gives me really warm fuzzies that you're using the actual match pairing algorithm, and it tends to derate us relative to those with similar OPR inputs after dozens of schedule runs.....

Makes one wonder if there's a low team number handicap somehow inherent within the algorithm...a greater tendency to be paired with higher numbered teams...vestiges of the AOD...who knows!

Maybe only if (team_number == 48) Teams 63 and 40 seem to do a bit better than those with similar OPR.

If there is a such thing as scheduler karma, then the question is what did you do?
