Division 1's Random Pairing Policy

Chris,

I can comment...that doesn't mean I'm correct, but I can comment! And I think you'll find that I'm a pretty straight-shooter. If I don't know how something works, I will tell you that I don't know how something works. And, in some cases where I do not feel I am qualified to post my opinion, I won't (for instance, you will rarely see me post my opinion on subjects over on the S/SS side that specifically pertain to those classes, because quite frankly I just don't know enough about them to be able to make an educated post.)

But, in this particular case, somebody suggested that D1 should use the same procedure that is in place in D3 for pulling first round opponents, and it was made perfectly clear in these posts that the current method of "random pairing" for the 1st round hadn't changed since the last time I was at a D1 LODRS event. Thus, I felt it was perfectly reasonable for me to post my opinion.

You COULD even argue that I am more qualified than some on this particular subject, as over the last few years I have almost always hit at least one D3 LODRS event. This is not to say that D1 racers are strangers to D3 events, but we're definitely in the minority when we are there.

And I'm NOT trying to insinuate you are one of these people...
