Re: PB13 (Power Matching)

One other thing to note.  There are very legitimate reasons to 
dislike power matching, but the delay at Penn Bowl between the last 
rounds of the round robin and the playoffs was in large part, NOT 
due to the time it takes to do power matching.  Instead, it was the 
bracket that got behind due to the wrong packet being read and then 
those games mattering as to who got into the playoffs (Yale A vs. 
Virginia A in particular).  Only after those scoresheets made it in, 
could power matching be done.  Since the other 3 brackets ended 
pretty much at the same time, there was much waiting around at that 
point waiting for the 4th bracket to finish.
