Disappointing Game

[MichaelBick]

Seeding has always been inaccurate because of the limited amount of matches. Furthermore, practice and strategy has always been an important part of winning in any sport, not just FIRST.

Being at the regional, I don't think that you can argue that your fate was totally up to bad luck. We together would have won our last match had the ball been put in the low goal instead of you missing the high goal. Making this would have not only given you 30 more assist points, but you would have also seeded 8th. Similarly, we seeded 11th instead of 3rd.

Implementation has always been one of the most important parts of FIRST, and that includes what happens AT the competition. If you don't like this part of how FIRST works, I'm sure there are many other competitions that have a much more definite outcome.
