Does any one know why Teams 469, 1918, and 2834 had to win three games in the finals instead of just the normal two games?

They didn't. See: http://www2.usfirst.org/2010comp/events/GL/matchresults.html

Final 1 was a 18-18 tie.
Final 2 was a 15-13 win for Red.
Final 3 was a 13-8 win for Blue.
Then the tie of Final 1 was replayed, resulting in a 14-12 win for Red. This replaces the 18-18 tie in the match results list.

TBA scrapes results off FIRST's site, and has to fudge in the replayed matches. They evidently copied Match 2 as Match 4 rather than adding in the 18-18 tie.

TBA made a mistake and one of those matches should be an 18-18 tie.

Issues with TBA, FMS and tie matches explained here (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?p=948264&postcount=120)

The quick answer is "they didn't". There is some oddity between the way FIRST presents eliminations matches (they apparently don't handle >3 matches in a pairing elegantly), and that confuses TBA, who uses the FIRST data to fill their pages (and beautifully, too, I might add :-) ).

The first finals match ended in an 18-18 TIE ! I think the next was 15-13 RED, then 8-13 BLUE, and finally 14-12 RED.

something similar happened when you look at the Lone Star Regional (http://www.thebluealliance.net/tbatv/event/2010tx)

Thank you very much.

and Northstar (http://www.thebluealliance.net/tbatv/event/2010mn2) didnt actually end in a tie, but FIRST (http://www2.usfirst.org/2010comp/events/MN2/matchresults.html) page says so too. There were actually 2 ties and 2 Red wins if you check FRC-Spy (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/frcspy.php?) which interprets frcfms on twitter (http://twitter.com/frcfms). Lots of places to find the data, sometimes you have to cross check them with each other
