Re: [FVC]: Longer competitions

Dave,

We could not find a happy medium when generating the match schedules. When we tried to set a lower minimum match spacing, we sometimes ended up with teams competing in a match while needing to be queued up for another match.

It is possible that we just didn't go through enough iterations to ensure that we didn't have duplication. It also didn't help that we had to generate the match schedule three times because of teams being initially on the list, then not showing up, then finally showing up during opening ceremony. We didn't have enough time to go through the list and check for duplicate matchups. Some of those issues may have contributed to those other events having similar duplicate matchups.

When this number is set too high, duplication will occur (due to basic math constraints). This is documented in the manual.
