What are the Odds?
On Saturday I pretty much had my best day yet on this site (with a TON of help from nuffle). 3 games in box with my pros (who are also massivly helped by nuffle and deserve a better coach than me. But anyway, 1'st and 2'nd games on sat are both against and megastar in coach rating with CD's. WHat are Odds?
Answer: pretty good. But MY question is, what are the odds that this CD coach was the same coach (Pitch-Master). First game my team was giving away a re-roll, second game we give away even more, seperating our distance.
To sum up: What are the Odds that in black-box two teams play each other twice in a row, with a maximum break of 15 minutes in between?
Matches are here if you are interesed, so are the teams:
Mine: http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=team&team_id=689396
His: http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=team&op=view&team_id=697783
And game 1:http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=match&op=view&id=3296880
And game 2:http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=match&op=view&id=3296884

not that high id guess as a) it happened and b) it happens to others (i had to play someone twice in a row which was ideal as id lost my rag with him in the first game and then got him straight after....) ;)

You both finished your game at the same time(well duh) and then activating at the same doesn't seem that unlikely.
It is a slow time slot, so the bot likely has few options for pairing.
Having just played each other has no effect on the pairing mechanism, the bot don't care.
So yeah. ;D

Overhamsteren is wrong. If you have been paired before the bot will give the same matchup a worse suitablity.
If there is truely noone else it will of course rematch you. But you are allowed to go the admins and ask for a cancellation if you get sceduled against the same 3 times in a row.
