When you split the top 10 into two top/bottom groups, it isn't parity.

Both. But you miss my point entirely. Day 40 rankings for season z look totally different than day 40 for season y. Accordingly, you cannot rely on them. That's why random is a better draw.

I see what you're saying, and it isn't valid.

You can't rely on a random draw - it isn't better. Just because hand selection or selection based on performance isn't 100% perfect doesn't mean it isn' t a superior method of balance.

Random doesn't work. S17 is a perfect example of why.

I do too, but I just don't see there being a fool proof/"fair" way to break up the teams. Random is about as fair as their is....and it's not a lock that any of those teams would have made it in Alpha either. I know exact how well the talent lvl of D9/Shockers line up....SoCal/jdros is a master at finding the cool new blitzs. they're a bitch to beat when they try bringing their A game and they're current sitting at #8 in Alpha.



Nothing is fool proof, but an educated selection is MUCH better. S17 is a perfect example of why Random doesn't work. You're feeling the burnt of it, so I'd expect you to see this.

oh god, so this isn't a joke thread?

lollllllllll

I wouldn't mind seeing a snippet of code that you are proposing to make the conferences, in your eyes, balanced.

Maybe next, you could tackle why my iPod can't effectively randomize either.

I could flip a coin and do a better job than bort's random script.
