FAHA: FiM - 3rd Event Quandary

[Clinton Bolinger]

The teams that are doing the 3rd event are needed for the FiM structure to work. Without them, events will not have enough teams to get an equal number of matches per district event therefore giving teams a slight advantage.


For example (numbers made up):

Full District Event
60 matches per district
6 teams per match
40 teams per district
--------------------
= 9 Matches per team per district

Spots Available District Event
60 matches per district
6 teams per match
30 teams per district
--------------------
= 12 Matches per team per district


Therefore the 30 teams that when to the smaller event have the possibility of a 6 point advantage over the fully event.
