Go to Post I saw a big opening in the bees section and asked if we could sit for this match and was told we were welcome to sit there. Your team made space for about 15 of my team members that came with me. - Debbie [more]

I think there's still issues with how the individual regionals are setting things up. At Midwest, we felt the scheduling algorithm did a very poor job (especially since we had to play against 1625 three times in a row). However, the schedule at Boilermaker seemed to have excellent diversity (at the expense of occasionally very short cycle times between matches). I also felt that the diversity of the Boilermaker schedule was responsible for a more accurate Top 8 at the end of qualification matches (completely subjective, of course).

I'd say the algorithm is better when used correctly, but honestly I think a lot of the problems in the past were also due to incorrect use (minimum match spacing set too high). I think that option really needs to be taken out of the control of the local regional.
