If you're 1 match from elimination and your backup hasn't played, you have to play them; otherwise, whoever you want to goes out there.
The only problem i could see with a system like this is that you would then have 7 robots qualifying at each event, which wouldn't be an issue if champs weren't already cramped as it is
