Why doesn’t anet do ONE of the following...especially since you get such a huge point bonus for consecutive wins in brawl. Any of these options seem like a simple fix...
Make it international district only---so you are always pulling from a large pool of people.
Make it like team arenas/codex so you know it is organized team only--at least everyone would know teams can be formed.
Make it so that people that go to little used districts can only fight people from that district?--that way synchers wait forever before they get to fight another gold caped team C5 team.
The good team are just going to unused districts and forming. Not really much fun when well balanced high pvp ranked teams are steamrolling people from American that are formed at random.

Its great fun, balanced too. Syncing honestly doesn't make different in this.
Why would they try and stop syncin in this as we wont see it for another year...if anets right they may not have to do much coding at all with automated events too.
Stop crying over nothing

Explain how it is fun if high ranked PVP people in an organized and a balanced team play against randomly formed people that aren't as experienced? Either make it so it really IS random or make it organized teams. Not organized teams vs. people who don't know better.
I suppose you think it is fun to go to the local preschool and beat up the toddlers too.

With that attitude why waste time developing guild wars at all? They claim they fixed syncing for random arenas...would it really be that much of a strech to do it for CB?

I haven't met a single synced group and I got +/-3k gamer points this event. I don't see the problem.

Stop complaining.
It's boring to play with retards, so people sync.
If you're playing with random retards you won't really have anything to complain over since you'll never reach any real streaks.

If you don't like having to play with "random tards", advocate for a team arena-esque outpost for it.

You either mean ~3k points, or <some number> +/- 3k points. I think the chances of you making negative 3k points is low =)

Edit:
Zahr Dalsk, wth? You just repeated what he said, which is still wrong. And yes, I know what he meant, as should be obvious from what I said :\. Comprehension fail?
OT;
allowing people to form teams implies forcing people to join teams. (CA style). CB is meant to be a casual jump-in-and-play event for all, even if (us) synchers abuse it.

I just report those teams with 4-5 of the same guild. Syncing should not exist and i will do anything to ban this sickness from the game.
And CB is crap this year btw.

CB can be fun, but it gets annoying when you play with sins who think they can solo the entire other team
So if u wanna play with halfway decent people then you(I) sync

You can't stop syncing with anything short of bans or removing random team assignment. No fix exists. You could return everyone to the outpost after each match win or lose, and people would still sync (in force). The options are to live with it, destroy the format or persuade ANet to dedicate a lot of Support resources to effectively administering a ban policy.
For better or for worse, you're going to have to live with it.

The mechanic behind setting up the teams doesn't seem to work properly for making truly random teams, else they would have addressed this already for things like RA in a perfect sense.
I did find it strange that they didn't do a district-mixing queue like they seem to have done for RA. They should have implemented that at the beginning, but I wasn't going to complain during the event about all the extra gamer points I felt I was going to earn by not mentioning this.
