7. 3947 - 624 - 245 - 447
8. 195 - 1538 - 1241 - 111

1 > 8 in two matches
2> 7 in three matches
3 > 6 in three matches
4 > 5 in three matches

1 > 3 in three matches
2 > 4 in three matches

1 > 2 in three matches

The alliances are so stacked that the majority of rounds will be decided by a third match.

1 will play against 4 and 2 will play 3 in the second round your brackets

My prediction,

1>8
2>7
3>6
5>4

3>2
1>5

1>3

Quarters
1 beats 8
4 beats 5
2 beats 7
3 beats 6

Semis
1 beats 4
3 beats 2

Finals
1 beats 3

The Quarters I'm pretty confidant in, even with some close matches. Semis and Finals will be darn close.

This but have no idea about the finals.

Whoops, somehow mixed this up.

Revision:
1 > 4 (3)
2 < 3 (3)

1 > 3 (3)

Just because I think it's possible. That 8 alliance is awesome. Realistically, 1 probably beats 8 and goes to the finals. But an underdog-lover can dream, right?

8 beats 1
2 beats 7
3 beats 6
4 beats 5

8 beats 4
3 beats 2

3 beats 8

Based on the actual alliances:

1: 1114 2056 1334 2337
2: 1310 67 3476 862
3: 469 118 2590 3847
4: 868 987 2826 48
5: 2648 33 3467 4265
6: 359 148 1477 967
7: 3947 624 245 447
8: 195 1538 1241 111

QF:
1>8 (2 matches)
5>4 (3 matches)
2>7 (2 matches)
3>6 (3 matches)

SF:
1>5 (2 matches)
2>3 (4 matches)

F:
1>2 (3 matches)

The 100 points that 1114-2056-1334 can score on the pyramid will be too much for anyone to overcome. 1334 and 1114 will suffer from a couple failed climb attempts, but their autonomous and teleop capability won't allow their opponents to exploit any shortcomings on the pyramid - they'll lose a match but stand the victor.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

QF1: 1114-2056-1334 will defeat 195-1538-1241 in two matches. The #8 alliance's scores will be around 200 points, but will be overcome by significant margins (20+ pts) in each match.

QF2: 2648, the #5 alliance captain, will choose to play 33-3467-4265, employing 4265's FCS capability to support 33 sweeping. They'll barely defeat the disc-masters of 868-987-2826 in 3 matches, needing 3467's 30pt climber to top their formidable opponents.

QF3: 1310-67-3476 will prove exceptionally powerful; their versatility of FCS, cycling, and harvesting will ultimately overwhelm 3947-624-245, who will need to counter with a defensive robot. This will be the #7 alliance's best chance of victory, but won't be enough to pull off a win. 1310-67-3476 will win in two matches with a total point difference of 80-120 points.

QF4: 359-148-1477 will prove strong, but not strong enough to defeat the alliance of 469-118-2590. 469-118-2590 will win in three tough matches - the closest of the quarterfinals.

SF1: 1114-2056-1334 will again overwhelm a strong alliance in two matches. 33-3467-4265 will score over 200 in each match, but that won't be enough to defeat 1114-2056-1334, despite 1114 or 1334 suffering a fall from the pyramid.

SF2: These will arguably be the closest elim matches of 2013. 1310-67-3476 will eliminate 469-118-2590, despite suffering a loss and a tie. 469, 118, and 2590's weakness will be minor inconsistency... a few dropped discs and failing to line up just right will be just enough to cost them a trip to the finals.

Finals: 1114-2056-1334 will finally lose a match, but ultimately their higher potential will carry them to gold. 1310-67-3476 will demonstrate they can beat the #1 alliance, however they'll only be able to do so once.

Canada will go home proud that they produced 5 of the 6 teams that won the top two events in FRC. Through no fault of the elite Canadian teams, this will never happen again.

Canada will go home proud that they produced 5 of the 6 teams that won the top two events in FRC. Through no fault of the elite Canadian teams, this will never happen again.

5 of the 7, 2337 will be integral to the first alliance when they need a blocker with a powerful drivetrain.
