I think the problem is caused by the "bad" or "wrong" proportion of teams in each category...
if they play only 8 games in the prelims maybe the best is playing 2 am, 2 nov and 4 pro's, but if you haven't got the enough pro teams or you have too many novice ones... no other way to make the schedule !!,
Actually the best draw for any team and tournament is, in my opinion, play at least 5 or 6 games against your same category...
Anyway... Good Luck Guys!!, we will be here waiting for news from vegas I hope the best for you ... NEXUS !!!
and the same for other euro teams, i didn't know cyclone is going to be there! great news for the european paintball
