While I'm in favor of keeping the current format of advancing based on EP in the elimination matches in order to keep it being one game throughout, and not two completely different strategies between qualifying and elimination, I do agree with the argument that two matches does not allow for the recovery from a fluke error in one match. So, I propose the following:
1. EP are accumulated throughout each match series (Semifinal & Final) as currently outlined in the rules.
2. Rather than having two matches as a minimum in each series, we have at least three.
3. At the end of these three matches, the alliance with the most EP will advance to the next series. In the event of a tie in EP, the alliance with the most wins in that series will advance. In the event of a tie in win count, a "sudden death" match will occur. The alliance with the most EP earned in this sudden death match will advance to the next series.
What do you all think?
