BattleCry@WPI 14 - Reg Open 2-Apr 1200

[ColleenShaver]

The formation of our 'eighth finals' is always dependent on data from the season. We evaluate regional events and the number of times the winner of the first match does or doesn't end up winning the set. This is why it changes year-to-year whether we play one, two, or best-of-3 matches in the eighth final.

Our current VISION (i.e. subject to change) for how the 18 alliances will play out is:
- 15 seed vs 18 seed play best 2-of-3 match set
- 16 seed vs 17 seed play best 2-of-3 match set
- Winners of those sets become the 15th and 16th seed
- Eighth finals are played 1v16, 2v15,... with a single match played to determine advancement
- Quarter, semis, and finals play out as normal in FIRST
