A combination of the tele-operated ranking and your autonomous ranking was used to determine the final standings for alliance selection.

I believe something similar exist for the VRC College Competition now, if not the high school levels. Believe being the operative word.
It does exist. However, it's more of a challenge than a game - it's one robot on the field at a time, rather than multiple robots competing and cooperating as they do in traditional teleoperated matches. A separate field is set aside for these matches (as well as the driver skill challenge - one robot, one drive team, 60 seconds to score as many points as possile)

I could see this translating into Rebound Rumble - one robot clears the bridges and A-bombs a robot waiting on the key ...
