: Joe: While I agree with most of your logic, I tend to disagree with your overall conclusion. Yes, more qualifying rounds will tend more accurately determine who the best 8 machines are on that day. Yes, I wish there were more rounds just because it is more fun than 4 or 5 rounds. Without going into a thesis on your mathematics, yes, there is a chance(almost a certainty) that at least one of the teams in the top 8 is not a top 8 team. But, here is what I think will happen.
:
: 1. 5 of the top 8 teams will be top 16 teams.
: 2. Of the 8 picked teams, all will be in the top 16 teams.
: 3. Of the 3 non-top 8 teams, they will be in the top 30%.

:
: In conclusion, this elimination match(quarterfinals) will be the toughest, most competitive one seen to date. Compare this to last year, an early loss meant relegation to the loser's bracket, which then meant your team needed to be a Houdini to pull one off( just ask Wildstang, Baxter Bomb Squad, and some team that won three Regionals but can't remember their name). Sorry Joe, while I dearly wish for more matches, you will see many teams that should be in it resurrected from the "loser's" bracket that under the old system would never have got the opportunity.

: Sincerely,
: Brian Beatty
