To a point, yes. The hexagonal fields were really wacky when it came to elims setup, but I don't remember reading any of the details.

P.S. I've been informed that the 1999 game was on a square field. Matter of fact, that one did have the Puck, which if moved off its starting point--and it was meant to be moved--made the field asymmetrical, and the robots were the primary scorers, more asymmetry...
