Re: why doesn't FIRST have 3rd place?
We always refer to the the allaince that went to 3 matches as 3rd place if the other side went 2 and out for ease of explaining it.
I don't think there's really a bennefit to doing it officially.
The time cycle for most games in the past has usally made it so clean up and breakdown of the fields pushes it close to when we are supposed to be out of venues. I think this would just drag out the wait for awards.
Also look at most major sports, football, baseball, basketball (NCAA tournament too) and hockey where when you're out that's it. There is no need to find a 3rd place because all that the people want to see is the champion.
