pic: Sum of team numbers versus match number in Curie

[meaubry]

We were in Newton , (Team 47) and we also never played with or against any team higher than 1000.

All our matches involved teams like 233, 175, 39, 111 and
in 5 of the 7 we played against a team, then with them in the next match.

On a brighter note - the points piled up like crazy, and we ended up with the 2nd highest RS in Newton (over 70) - we seeded 43 of 85 with a 3-4 (W-L) record.

We had a minimum of an hour between matches - that usually grew as the matches fell behind schedule.

I guess with 85 teams, I have difficulty understanding why the chosen algorithem they chose was used. Was it to somehow level the playing field and force higher #'s up to the top seeding positions?
