Re: Rigged partner assignments?

The title of the thread asks if matches are rigged. I do not believe this to be the case at all.

I can say for sure (at least from experience) that there are groups that are supposedly random that play together. In 2002 at the Midwest Regional, we (Team 71, at the time) always played right before Wildstang. Thats not very random. This year we (1064) would play with a team in one match, then against them in the next match - it happened three times.

As far as time goes, I like the idea, but I don't like what it does to the matches. And still, 71 ended up playing two matche spaced 5 rounds apart at the Midwest this year.

Back in 99 and 2000 at least, it did happen that we would play a few matches close together and have a long break...but with only 35 teams at the regional, a long break was never more than an hour...and we had 13 matches. Only rarely did a team see another team more than once on the field. I miss those days....
