(I know it's not about the rematch - just like FIRST isn't about the robots.)

If this is set up as an exhibition, with alliances NOT equal to A-C-G-N, then that may be permissible.

edit: Let me be clear: I agree with the overall AID concept 100%.
I also agree with the concept of this, but it is just like all the talk about all the replaying Einstein. This should be out of the question, there are too many variables in replaying it. If we play without the same alliances, then i am perfectly fine with the idea, but otherwise it is going to look bad on everyone's part if it does not end exactly as it did on Einstein.
