I like these "announced pairings" too (It makes my job as a strategist much easier). However, I found it very funny when I was coordinating the game plan with our alliance partner for our first match of the day, when I'm interrupted by another team's strategist saying "hey, I'm from team X and we'll be together in your 8th match, I'd like to discuss some strategy". No doubt, it's good to plan ahead, and scouting way ahead of time is good, but it just seems rediculous to approach teams this far in advance. A lot of teams are more worried about the match at hand and working out the kinks in the strategy.
This new enhancement of FIRST opens a door to more possibillities of strategy. In fact, it seems it would be beneficial to have a slew of strategists where each one is coordinating and researching the robots and teams for a single match. Also, before each match, I had the luxury of developing contingency plans, if-then scenarios, the whole shabang! It certainly increases the level of competition, and that's good for everyone!
