Rigged partner assignments?

was that only a cooincidence for our team? it sure seemed odd, out of 60 teams present

That's definitely happened for us, and I just now had a flash of brillance and figured out why.

Edit: see IMDWalrus's post. Beat me to it. Oh well. At least I had a proud moment when I figured it out myself. =)

You're likely to get paired with teams you've just played with because of the time issue. Of course, you may be able to mix in some teams from the matches right before or after your original match. But for the most part you're with that particular group.

Then your next match you may play with a team that played right before or after your second match. So you'll get some switching that way, but between any 2 consecutive matches there's bound to be some overlap.

I think Ken has a point, you don't need consistent time between matches. But I think (I don't really know, I'm not good at this stuff) that that would make it even more complicated to schedule, wouldn't it?

Just my thoughts.
