Not sure if this has been brought up before but based off anecdotal experience of 2 games, seems there is a bit of a flaw in the matching algorithm now seasons have been introduced...

Today my orcs 2 games into second season at 1220 TV faced an uber powerful 5 rr vampire team at 1700 TV.

I didn't even mean to join BB at this time in the morning but I managed to entertain it for 1 turn before realising at was a waste of my time to even try, so I conceded and paid a price of losing some decent players. Not my finest moment but it happened.

I saw the same thing happened to a dwarf coach vs the same vampire team later in the day. They at least did try, but the result was inevitable.

I guess it might iron itself out as those teams go beyond s2 or even s3 but seems the games played % above TV factor needs adjusting somehow given that soon after rebuy you are fairly slim on players and/or rerolls vs those that have had a few more games to rebuild fully (especially those with cheaper linemen!).

I suggested to use brackets for Season 2+ teams' pairing:
Something like:
- teams with 0-4 games paired with teams with 0-4 games;
- teams with 5-9 games paired with teams with 5-9 games;
- teams with 10-14 games paired with teams with 10-14 games;
or less granular, to make Box draws more likely:
- teams with 0-7 games paired with teams with 0-7 games;
- teams with 8-14 games paired with teams with 8-14 games.
Also, it could help to reduce the Seasons from 15 games to 12 or even 10 games. Developed ball carriers are still quite common, even on teams created after Re-Draft implementation.
