**Disclaimer: I know they're preliminary**

I only see 8 matches per team in the qualification schedules. I thought they were aiming for 10.

Anyone feel like doing an OPR based prediction? Our schedule does not look very favourable...

I just did it for my team and came up with a 6-2 record (Not bad) though when ever I use OPR to scout I always say a match with in a technical foul worth of points are a toss up which takes my teams schedule to a 3-2-3

Ugh! WHy do the champs need a practice schedule?
They should do it the MSC way and just do it on a first come/ first served basis.
It's alot easier than dealing with a filler line that will be backed up to the pits with inspected teams.

I agree, 8 seems like a small amount of matches for each team. Lots of teams to fit in, but hard to seed well with only 8 matches.

Welcome to the traditional regional system, where my team pays $14k for the same number of qualification rounds Michigan teams get with $5k. The best part is when teams luck out so hard on schedules, they rank first without scoring any disc points.
