Daniel,

It's quite likely you're being ignored because they _can't_ provide any
substantive arguments to refute your points. Don't take it personally.
I also wrote a long message (see link below) detailing why I agreed with
the alliance selection system as it was implemented for the regionals.
I didn't see a single disagreement with the points I raised, yet the
whining about 'unfairness' continued on.

: I think Chris was really on target to ask for comments on his opinion. I keep finding people talking about no rejections, but every time I make a post, the thread dies only to be resurrected a few days later. Anyway, please comment on my opinion. If there痴 a good reason why I知 wrong on this, I値l make a complete turnaround. Otherwise, like Chris, I知 gonna punch holes. This might look familiar, it was taken from an earlier post in the general forum. Thanks!

: I think FIRST is smarter than we are giving them credit for. They've come up with a great system this year. Here's why. After only 6 QMs, the top 16 seeds won't necessarily be the top 16 robots, and even if by some chance they are, the robots certainly won't be in the correct order. The process FIRST has devised allows for the most deserving of the top 16 to pair with the most deserving of the non-qualified 'bots. This eliminates the randomness of the seeding process. Besides, just because a team isn't seeded in the top 16, that doesn't mean they aren't one of the best robots. A very good defensive robot could be seeded 63rd and still well deserve to do a little choosing of it's own. It all depends on how you play. But I digress, the point I was trying to bring across was that you shouldn't focus too much on the downsides, because when you don't it becomes clear that FIRST has implemented this rule as a deliberate attempt to make the game fair, which is really the main issue. Don't you think?

: FIRST, if you're out there...good job!
