Rumble Pairing Selection Algorithm

Beaming raises concern over a ranking of a bot in the roborumble and the number of matches it has played with certain opponents. Xor clarifies that LiteRumble selects missing pairings first and each bot should have a similar number of battles given enough time. GrubbmGait speculates that there may have been a hiccup in the rankings last year. Xor suggests that older bots with more than 5000 battles aren't selected until everyone has had at least 5000 battles, and newer bots have a priority because they have less than 5000 battles. They also suggest that the current algorithm doesn't have any problems and that older bots will eventually get more battles in the next 100 years. Beaming thanks Xor for the explanation.
