What I meant:

To explain what I mean is that I believe it is more fair for the rookies to kind of have a fair chance at the Finals by having them compete more with rookies rather than veterans. I think that the matches should be 60% Vet vs Vet||Rooks vs Rooks, and that the other 40% should be a combination of integration.

But for it to fit their algorithm of the time between matches they would have to be similar to this:

(Odd = Veteran Team; Even = Rookie Team)
Match 1: 1,3,5,7,9,11
Match 2: 2,4,6,8,10,12
Match 3: 13,15,17,19,21,23
Match 5: 14,16,18,20,22,24
(Few matches later)
Match 7: 1,2,13,4,8,10
et cetera.

That is just how I feel it would be more fair because that way rookies would have a more fair chance of getting to the top 8 seeds.

Now some of you say well, the vets will kill the rooks, but if you think about it, you will have usually 4 vets and 4 rookies or 5 vets and 3 rookies or even 3 vets and 5 rookies at the final 8 before they pick their teams and after they pick they will probably be around one or two veterans per team to (naturally) balance things out.

Pavan.
